Almeda Mall is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. The mall is shown above as it was when it opened in 1968. The J.C. Penney shown at the far left now houses a Burlington Coat Factory, which serves as one of the mall’s two anchor stores. The second anchor store was originally the Foley’s shown below. That space now houses a Macy’s, which bought Foley’s in 2006.
