Originally built in 1990, the now closed St. Lawrence Center served extreme northern New York in Massena. It would appear original anchors included Chappels, JCPenney, Sears, and Hills. Hills would become Ames and Bon-Ton would acquire Chappels. After Ames' closure, there were efforts to replace it with a Walmart, but these fell through, allowing Steve & Barry's to briefly operate a location in the space. The mall attempted to pursue a Target to replace it, but it didn't pan out. TJ Maxx, operating as a junior anchor, left the mall in 2011 and Sears would close in 2014. Bon-Ton would opt to not renew their lease and close in early 2018 as a one-off closure before the chain's demise. In April 2024, the mall closed leaving JCPenney as the only remaining tenant.
