As of January 2022, The half century old shopping concourse currently features the traditional chain anchor JCPenney, as well as Dick's House of Sport (Coming 2023). It currently features notable specialty stores American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Express and Hollister.
The later 2010s saw multiple traditional chain anchors update their brick-and-mortar fleets after being disrupted by digital retailers in recent years.
In 2017, Macy's, which maintains several larger outposts around Albany and Syracuse, announced as part of a strategy to focus on their highest achieving locations that they would be leaving the center.[3] The space is set to become a Dick's House of Sports, a specialty concept by Dick's Sporting Goods by 2023.[4]
In 2017, it was announced Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing plan to phase out of brick-and-mortar. The store was reconstructed to feature "Factory by Beer Tree" a restaurant offering two levels of indoor and outdoor dining space, and Lourdes Health and Fitness which includes three large salt water pools, a steam room and sauna, and an enormous fitness floor.[5]
In August, 2018, it was announced regional division The Bon-Ton would shutter as part of bankruptcy.[6]
In January 2022, it was reported the mall envisions a $117 million plan to further develop the concourse while incorporating the rest of the mall, which was renamed Oakdale Commons.[7]
In October 2022, Burlington announced it would transition to a nearby store at Town Square Mall in Vestal.[8]
