Millcreek Mall

The Millcreek Mall or Millcreek Mall Complex is a one-level shopping center located southwest of downtown Erie, Pennsylvania, between Peach Street and Interstate 79, in Millcreek Township. The complex opened in 1975 and was developed by the Youngstown, Ohio-based Cafaro Company, who still own and operate it. Due to Pennsylvania's lack of sales tax on clothing, the Millcreek Mall attracts many visitors from Ohio, New York and Canada. Presently, the mall proper houses 121 store spaces, with 12 kiosks. The 175 store and restaurants figure often cited includes stores within the physical mall and its many peripheral restaurants, stores and strip plazas. The mall is anchored by JCPenney, Bon-Ton and Macy's, plus Boscov's will be opening a new store in the former Sears space.
