With latest closure, Patton Township plaza will be left with 2 empty storefronts
Gap Factory Outlet closed its only Centre County location after occupying a space in the Trader Joe’s Plaza for more than six years, a real estate agent said Wednesday.
The clothing retailer did not reopen after it was forced to close as part of Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts, real estate agent Kandy Weader said.
Keystone Commercial Real Estate is looking for a new tenant to take over the space at 293 Patriot Lane, Weader said. Gap’s corporate office did not respond Wednesday to request for comment.
The nearest Gap for many Centre County residents is now at 210 S. Lycoming Mall Road in Lycoming County.
The closure is expected to at least temporarily leave the plaza with two open storefronts.
Pier 1 announced in May it would permanently close all of its stores after being unable to find a buyer for its business after filing for bankruptcy protection earlier this year.
