Hudson Valley Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Ulster, New York, north of Kingston, United States. It is the lone mall in Ulster County and is the only enclosed mall located between Poughkeepsie and Albany. Hull Property Group currently owns and operates Hudson Valley Mall. The mall opened in 1981 and has an area of on one level with 19 shops and restaurants as well as a 12-screen Neighborhood Cinema Group theater. The mall currently maintains a Dick's Sporting Goods, and Target, as well as a handful of specialty stores. Adjacent to the mall is Hudson Valley Plaza, a two-tiered complex on a west-facing hill, consisting mainly of a Walmart, PetSmart and a few other shops. History The Hudson Valley Mall opened in 1981 with a Kmart, JCPenney, Hess's, and a Hoyts six-screen theater named Cinema 6 (later expanded to 12 screens and renamed after Regal Cinemas bought the theater). An expansion during 1989 added a Sears to the east side of the mall as well as a new food court and approximately 15 other stores. In 1995 Hess's became Filene's. In spring 2000, Pyramid began a renovation of the mall's interior. Around this time it was rumored a high-end department store would join the mall. Best Buy joined the mall in 2000 and a Dick's Sporting Goods opened in 2001. Target built a new store adjacent to the space, which was also opened in 2001. On September 9, 2006, Filene's became Macy's. The later 2010's saw multiple classic chain anchors readjust their brick and mortar fleets after being disrupted by digital retailers in recent years. In 2016, Macy's, which maintains much larger locations around Albany and Poughkeepsie, announced they were leaving the center. In 2018, it was announced that Sears would close. Incidents 2005 mall shooting On February 13, 2005, Robert Bonelli, age 24, of Glasco, New York, entered the mall with a semi-automatic AK-47 Variant and began firing it in the mall's Best Buy shop. Panic ensued as employees and shoppers began to flee the mall. Bonelli moved into the mall's main corridor and continued firing his weapon until he ran out of ammunition. After emptying the assault rifle, he promptly dropped it. As Bonelli dropped the weapon, a mall employee grabbed his gun, and another tackled him. The mall was evacuated and Bonelli was taken into custody. No one was killed in the shooting, but
