Sangertown Square is a shopping center located in New Hartford, New York between New York State Route 5 and New York State Route 8 near Utica, New York. Sangertown Square is a single-story mall, and comprises over 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of leasable retail space. The mall was built in 1980 and has about 80 stores and a central food court. Department stores include Boscov's, Dick's Sporting Goods, DSW, Inc., J. C. Penney, and Macy's.
The mall opened in 1980 with Sears, Bradlees, Hess's, and J. C. Penney. Bradlees converted to Target in 2002, and Hess's to Kaufmann's before becoming Macy's in 2006.
In 2003, the mall's once sunken center court was elevated, and brick ornamentation around its food court columns were removed.
In 2007, the unique "boulder" fountain in front of JCPenney was buried with wood chips and artificial vegetation. All of the globular tinted glass torches have been removed due to remodeling which occurred in June 2013. There was originally a fountain within the food court, but it was later removed due to noise issues. The fountain in front of the Sears entrance was removed as well in the early 2000s. The only current fountain is in front of the Macy's entrance. However, this fountain has been up for discussion for removal as well. In the summer of 2013, the "boulder" fountain in front of JCPenney was removed. The mall has had many entertainment options including arcades, and nice sit-down restaurants over the years, but in recent years many have left. The only arcade closed in late 2011 for construction of DSW Shoe Warehouse. The last sit-down restaurant, Friendly's, closed in January 2013, bringing other smaller food stores along such as Gertrude Hawk and Chicken Now (now closed), leaving only 7 restaurants.
