The Cortlandt Town Center (formerly known as the Westchester Mall) is a large retail power center located in the town of Cortlandt, New York (Mohegan Lake ZIP code). The New York Times called it "the main shopping area of the town of Cortlandt Manor" in 2003. The current incarnation (and name) was founded (reopened) in 1997 from the vacant and partially demolished buildings that made up the Westchester Mall, a mostly enclosed dead mall (itself founded in 1975). Many new buildings were added as well, and it is currently a predominantly outdoor shopping center, eventually growing to approximately 772,000 square feet. Anchor stores include Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, Best Buy, A&P, Barnes & Noble, Office Max, PetSmart, Michaels, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Marshall's, Modell's, and DSW. It also contains a 12-screen United Artists Theater, GameStop, DressBarn, Five Below, Michael's, the Mohegan Lake post office (zip code 10547) and several restaurants including McDonald's, Applebee's, Panera Bread, Blimpie (located inside Wal-Mart), Subway, Five Guys and Piazza Roma, a locally owned Italian restaurant.
