== Mall History ==
Clifton Country Mall opened in 1976 with originally four anchor spaces which were Caldor, JCPenney, Marshalls and Steinbach. In 1984, a long wing was added to the south of the existing mall. This included a wing around the Marshalls, adding a food court behind the Marshalls store itself, giving an entrance to both the front and rear of the store. A movie theater was also constructed inside of the mall around this time. Also in 1984, Crossgates Mall opened in Guilderland, a suburb of Albany, which drifted more and more stores away from Clifton Country Mall. By 2000, Caldor and Steinbach were already gone, leaving the mall with only JCPenney and Marshalls as anchors. In 2001, Boscov's replaced the former Caldor space. Around this time, the mall was starting to really struggle as the mall had barely any stores left and was half empty. In 2006, Clifton Country Mall was purchased by DCG Development who changed the mall's name to Clifton Park Center. DCG Development also cut JCPenney off from the enclosed portion of the mall and converted the rest of the former wing into a lifestyle center. A year later in 2007, the former entire Steinbach wing was also cut off from the mall and was turned into a shopping center, the rest of the mall besides the food court, Marshalls wing and Boscov's wing was converted into a lifestyle center with outdoor shops. The mall was pretty much "demalled".
