Carlisle Plaza Mall
The Point at Carlisle Plaza (formerly Carlisle Plaza and Carlisle Plaza Mall) is a shopping mall located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It is anchored by Dunham's Sports and Lowe's. History Carlisle Plaza was built as an open-air shopping plaza in 1964, with backing from David Javitch, founder of Giant Food Stores, and his son, Lee, who would soon become president and CEO of Giant. Under the ownership of Crown American Realty Trust (then called Crown Construction Company), plans were announced in 1968 for an expansion of the plaza into an enclosed mall. The enlarged and enclosed mall opened in 1976. Crown American sold the mall to Michael Joseph Development Corporation under the name Carlisle Realty Partners for $5.8 million in November 2002.

It was reconfigured in the early 2000s with 200,000 sq ft. being removed including two anchor buildings formerly occupied by Albion Point Antiques & Col ...

Shopping Mall
A shopping mall (or simply mall) is a North American term for a large indoor shopping center, usually anchored by department stores. The term "mall" originally meant a pedestrian promenade with shops along it (that is, the term was used to refer to the walkway itself which was merely bordered by such shops), but in the late 1960s, it began to be used as a generic term for the large enclosed shopping centers that were becoming commonplace at the time. In the U.K., such complexes are considered shopping centres (Commonwealth English: shopping centre), though "shopping center" covers many more sizes and types of centers than the North American "mall". Other countries may follow U.S. usage (Philippines, India, U.A.E., etc.) and others (Australia, etc.) follow U.K. usage. In Canadian English, and oftentimes in Australia and New Zealand, 'mall' may be used informally but 'shopping centre' or merely 'centre' will feature in the name of the complex (such as Toronto Eaton Centre).
