History
Palmer Park Mall opened in 1972 with 350,000 square feet (33,000 m2) of retail space.[2] Hess's and Clover department stores were the original two anchors of the mall.[3] The mall underwent a renovation in 1982.[4]
The mall experienced a decline in business during the 1990s, but this was turned around with introduction of the Boscov's and other stores.[5] In 1994, the Hess's store closed and became a Bon-Ton.[6] The Clover department store closed its doors in 1996.[7]
The fortunes of the mall changed for the better in October 1998 with the opening of Boscov's, which took over the space of the old Clover location.[8] The retail space was also expanded an additional 90,000 sq ft (8,400 m2). to accommodate Boscov's, bringing the total retail space of the mall up to 453,000 sq ft (42,100 m2).
In January 2015, PREIT announced that it was planning on selling Palmer Park Mall along with four other malls.[9]
