February 2013

Dear Rich, The name Destiny USA is very fitting for this mega shopping and entertainment venue, located in the heart of Syracuse, NY. It is a destination and Destiny is bringing in customers from Canada and the Northeast United States in very large volumes. This is great for the Sheraton and for all of the tourism industry in Onondaga County. The dollars spent in Syracuse also add to the County and State coffers.

The entertainment venues and big brand restaurants make Destiny a can't miss attraction when our guests are here on business or leisure. Clearly, Destiny USA is hitting a home run with consumers. This will help generate more out of town visitors as word spreads about all of the great things to do and see. The Sheraton is looking to continued room night business as the mall grows and is at full capacity.

I welcome you to experience the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center and Destiny USA.

Sincerely, David Heymann General Manager

From high-end fashion choices to more affordable styles, Destiny USA has everything you could ask for. This mall offers the perfect mixture of luxury outlets, entertainment and restaurants. Destiny USA, formerly known as the Carousel Mall, has gone through a great deal of transformation and is already attracting visitors in record numbers. By rebranding the mall with the new name, Destiny USA, management is making an effort to turn this upstate mall into one of the largest shopping centers in the United States.

Destiny USA offers its visitors a unique experience because it isn't just a place for people to shop, but rather a place where you can do it all. It is rare to find a mall that not only has a myriad of shopping choices but that also has entertainment opportunities for people of all ages.

With the addition of the Funny Bone Comedy Club and the much anticipated arrival of an IMAX theater, there isn't anything you cannot do. With over thirty restaurants and counting, this mall has numerous dining choices to suit the preferences of all its' visitors. No matter if you are looking to dine in a fine restaurant or want to a grab a quick bite, the opportunities are endless at Destiny USA.
