New Stores to Open in Nittany Mall

Two new stores and one returning seasonal shop will be opening soon in the Nittany Mall.

Bradley’s Book Outlet, Finatics and Can’s Art are each set to open in Oct. 1, according to a news release from the mall. Good Scents Candles will also be re-opening in a new location the same day.

Founded in Pittsburgh in 1993, Bradley’s Book Outlet sells discounted books, overstock items and best sellers at bargain prices.

‘Since over 90 percent of the inventory consists of publisher overstocks and remainders, customers are able to purchase popular authors and unique finds at deep discounts,’ according to the news release.

Bradley’s will open in the former location of Maurice’s, which opened in a large space in the mall last month. The Nittany Mall location will be Bradley’s 10th and easternmost retail store. Other Bradley’s locations are in the Pittsburgh area, DuBois, Altoona and Indiana, Pa. The company also has a wholesale division that sells to other retailers and an internet sales division.

Finatics is a locally owned and family-run pet store specializing in fish and small pets. It will open next to Charlotte Russe.

‘Many of their fish are purchased from the very best Florida fish farms,’ according to the release. ‘With many years of acquired knowledge, Finatics staff has gained invaluable sources in many different countries that specialize in raising specific types of koi, pond, fancy goldfish, tropical and saltwater fish.’

Can’s Art has opened in the Nittany Mall for the holiday season for more than a decade. The store, which sells framed photos, art, posters and sports memorabilia, will open in the former Radio Shack location.
