History
Opened as The Norco Mall in October, 1967, it featured Sears, Britt's Department Store (later Hess's), and Thrift Drug as anchors as well as thirteen smaller retail stores. In 1974 the original open-air plan was enclosed and expanded to include a new anchor store, J.M. Fields, a two-plex movie theater operated by the Fox Theatres chain, and more than a dozen new retail spaces. In 1982 the mall underwent further expansion and a name change to The Coventry Mall. J. M. Fields was later a Jefferson Ward and then a Bradlees. After it closed, it was subdivided between Ross Dress for Less and Dick's Sporting Goods, the former of which closed in 2014.
Pomeroy's department store was added in 1985. This store is now Boscov's; it has 2 floors plus rooftop parking.
Hess's sold most of its stores to The Bon-Ton in 1994, but was unable to complete a deal with Bon-Ton on this store. It instead became J.C. Penney for a short time, then The Bon-Ton before finally becoming Kohl's. In 2004, Stoltz Real Estate Partners acquired the mall from The Goodman Co..
Sears closed in April 2012. Mall owner Coventry Retail LP failed to make payments for the property and Jones Lang LaSalle became the receiver of the mall in March 2013. On September 19, 2013, the mall was sold at auction to U.S. Bank National Association for $49.5 million. Jones Lang LaSalle continued as the receiver and manager of the mall. In December 2014, Limerick Furniture opened in the former Sears location. On April 8, 2016, the Coventry Mall was sold to Pennmark Management Co., who plans on improving the mall by filling vacancies with new stores and restaurants. Gabe's, an off-priced retail store, opened on March 18, 2017 in a 45,000-square foot spot previously occupied by Sears, joining anchors Boscov's, Dick's Sporting Good's and Kohl's.
