Green Acres Mall is an indoor shopping mall located in South Valley Stream, New York, off Sunrise Highway in Nassau County right off the border of New York City and the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream (part of the parking lot and stores on the north side of the property are in the Village, while the mall itself is in an unincorporated hamlet of the Town of Hempstead). The mall has a gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2). The mall is the 26th largest in the United States. The mall is extremely popular in Nassau County and in the neighboring New York City borough of Queens. The mall is accessible by many Nassau Inter-County Express routes as well as two MTA New York City Bus routes, the Q5, Q85, that cross the city border.
Green Acres Mall was built in 1956 on the northern portion of Curtiss Airfield and was one of Long Island's first open air malls. It was partially built on the former site of the Columbia Aircraft Corporation. In 1968, the mall was enclosed "to create an even more appealing shopping environment." At the time, there were three anchor stores, Lane's, J.C. Penney, and Gimbels. There were more renovations and an expansion in 1983 including adding a second level, food court and a fourth anchor store, Sears.
