Lockport Mall was an enclosed shopping mall in Lockport, New York located on Transit Road (NY 78). It opened in 1971 and included three anchor stores as well as a movie theater. The mall closed in 2006 except for the Bon-Ton department store. First announced in 2007, plans for a Walmart supercenter would displace the rest of the former mall building. The mall's demolition began in April 2011.
Lockport Mall opened in 1971 and was acquired by General Growth Properties seven years later. Original tenants included AM&A's (Adam, Meldrum & Anderson Company), a local department store chain, Montgomery Ward, which moved into the mall from a store in Downtown Lockport, and The Sample, a local small department store. Also within the mall were Kinney Shoes, Fanny Farmer, Morse Shoes, Hickory Farms, Deb Shops, CVS Pharmacy, Fashion Bug, Kay Jewelers, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Radio Shack, Aladdin's Castle, Merle Norman Cosmetics, Regis Salons, Waldenbooks, and a movie theater. A 1984 expansion added Hills Department Store. The Sample closed in 1991, while AM&A's sold to The Bon-Ton in 1995. Hills became Ames in 1999; the same year, Montgomery Ward closed and became Rosa's Furniture. Due to the closing of Montgomery Ward, the mall started to decline. Ames closed in 2002, followed by many other mall stores.
