Susquehanna Valley Mall is a shopping mall outside of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania on US 11/US 15.[1] It is anchored by Bon-Ton, Boscov's, and Sears.[3][6] Several outparcels include a Carmike Cinemas (formerly Cinema Center) and Weis Markets.[7][8]

History

Boscov's opened in 1977, prior to the mall.[2] Susquehanna Valley Mall opened on September 26, 1978 with 400,000 sq. ft. of space and three anchors including Bon-Ton and Boscov's.[3][4][5] J. C. Penney became an anchor 10 months after the mall opened.[2] Susquehanna Valley Mall expanded in 1998 and added a fourth anchor, Sears, along with additional stores.[2] The mall was the largest retail project to occur in the Susquehanna Valley for 30 years until PREIT opened the Monroe Marketplace in 2008.[9] Two women were carjacked from the mall parking lot in May 2009, with the carjacker later turning himself in.[10] Courtyard Theater opened in 2013 and presents live theater in the mall.[11] In June 2014, a fatal car accident occurred in the mall's parking lot.[12] Gap closed in January 2015 and Christopher & Banks moved to the Monroe Marketplace.[3][6] J. C. Penney closed in April 2015.[3] RadioShack and Deb Shops also closed in 2015.[13]

Notoriety

The Murder of Troy LaFerrara in 2013 and Lori Auker in 1989 both began in the parking lot of the Mall.[14][15][16][17] The 94KX Cares for Kids Radiothon while being held at the Susquehanna Valley Mall has raised $45,000 in 2012, $40,721 in 2013, and $41,678 in 2014. It benefits the Janet Weis Children's Hospital at Geisinger Medical Center through Children's Miracle Network.[18][19][20]
