The Pyramid Company
Encyclopedia
The Pyramid Companies, also known as Pyramid Management Group, were formed in 1970 in Syracuse, New York
by Robert J. Congel. Its first three malls, or the company's "pioneer malls", were Pyramid Mall Ithaca (The Shops at Ithaca Mall
), Pyramid Mall Plattsburgh, and Pyramid Mall Saratoga. All three malls opened in 1975 and marked the beginning of an advance in shopping center construction and ownership. Currently, it is the largest privately owned developer of shopping malls in the country. The company has since grown to own 20 properties throughout New York
and Massachusetts
. However, of the three original Pyramid Malls, two have been demolished for strip centers, and the Ithaca property has since been sold.
in 1998. It mixes movie theaters and upscale restaurants together for a combination of a movie/dinner experience. Currently, Palisades holds the only ThEATery concept, but a major renovation and expansion at the Walden Galleria
on the side that faces I-90 will bring many new upscale restaurants and retailers never before seen at Pyramid Malls to the Buffalo, New York
area. Scott R. Congel (son of Robert J. Congel) has also stated his intention to use the ThEATery concept in his forthcoming Medley Centre
project in Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester, New York
.
A predecessor to this can be seen in the expanded portion of Crossgates Mall
as that mall's Johnny Rockets
and Houlihan's
are located across from that mall's theaters. Also, the Galleria at Crystal Run
has a new Johnny Rockets location, and a couple of new restaurants located near its movie theaters as well.
