== Mall History ==
The mall opened in 1977 as the second enclosed shopping mall in Greensburg, with only two anchor tenants such as Kaufmann's and Sears. Westmoreland Mall came to be after Sears and Kaufmann's expressed interested in joining Greengate Mall and was denied by their owners at the time, The Rouse Company. The mall also had a four-screen movie theater located inside. A year later in 1978, a third anchor was added to the mall which was Troutman's. By the mid-1980's, the mall was expanded adding a convenience center at the South Annex of the mall which added space for 15 new stores and restaurants. At this time, the mall was owned and operated by The Kravco Company, now Simon Property Group. Also during this time, Troutman's was converted into Pomeroy's in 1985, which then two years later was converted into Bon-Ton in 1987. By the early 1990s, significant retailer demand for additional space as well as increasing competition from Pittsburgh-area malls prompted to mall's owners to consider redeveloping the property. In response, it went through a $33 million renovation and expansion project, which began in 1993 and ended with the grand opening of JCPenney, which relocated from Greengate Mall in 1994, adding four total anchors to the mall. The expansion about brought in 20 new retailers as well as a spacious food court and a three-level parking garage with a new mall entrance. The last major mall addition took place in 1999, when Carmike Cinemas (now AMC Theatres) opened a new fifteen-screen stadium style seating movie theater. The former four-screen movie theater and a couple of adjacent shops at the mall were converted into Kaufmann's Home Store. In September 2006, all Kaufmann's locations were renamed to Macy's which renamed the main store as well as the home store. In 2018, Bon-Ton was closed due to the company going out of business and the building was demolished in 2019 to make room for Live! Casino. The casino later opened in November 2019. In March 2019, Sears was permanently closed and the space has remained vacant since then.
