Discovering Newgate Mall's Past
How Newgate Mall Started
The Homart Development Company built Newgate Mall in 1981. When it first opened, its main stores were Sears and Mervyn's. Did you know that the very first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Utah was located here? In 1992, a store called Phar-Mor opened, but it closed just seven months later.
Changes and New Stores in the 1990s
In 1994, Dillard's opened its second store in Utah at Newgate Mall. Between 1994 and 1995, the mall grew a lot. Over 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of new shopping space was added. Many well-known stores joined the mall, including Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant, and Bath & Body Works. Other new places were Express, Inc., Famous Footwear, B. Dalton, and Applebee's. A popular consignment shop called Quilted Bear also moved into a bigger space within the mall.
New Additions and Growth in the 2000s
A year later, in 1996, the old Phar-Mor store became the first Oshman's in Utah. This store changed names a few times. It became Gart Sports in 2001, then Sports Authority in 2006. In 2016, it changed again to DownEast Home & Clothing.
In 1998, a new and much larger movie theater opened. It was a 14-screen Cinemark "Tinseltown USA." This new theater replaced the mall's older, smaller 4-screen cinema.
Even though Newgate Mall had some empty stores at first, it became much busier in the 2000s. This happened especially after another mall nearby, Ogden City Mall, closed down. Ogden City Mall is now known as The Junction.
Recent Changes at the Mall
The Mervyn's store closed in 2008. In 2013, a Burlington Coat Factory opened in its place. The Sears store also closed its doors in April 2018.
