Hunt Valley Towne Centre, formerly Hunt Valley Mall, is an outdoor shopping mall in northern Baltimore County, Maryland. The development was constructed following the closure of Hunt Valley Mall (other than its anchor stores) in 2000. The anchor stores in existence today include Burlington Coat Factory, Wegmans, and Sears. Walmart was located at Hunt Valley mall until Late October 2007, but has since moved two miles south to Cockeysville, Maryland.

Hunt Valley Mall originally opened in 1981. Its success over the following two decades was limited, and as a result, many of the merchants failed by the end of the 1990s. This resulted in plans being made to convert the mall into an outdoor town center with big-box stores.

[edit] Restaurants

Among the restaurant offerings are casual dining establishments such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Panera Bread, Carmine's Pizza, Vaccaro's and Carvel.

Full service dining is available at Greystone Grill, Damon's Grille, California Pizza Kitchen, Jesse Wong's and Sakura.

[edit] Light Rail

In 1997, the Central Light Rail line of Baltimore was extended north from its Timonium terminus to the parking lot of Hunt Valley Mall. There were hopes that this would increase business to the struggling mall. At the same time, this led to rumors of increased crime at the mall.

Prior to the light rail's extension, the mall was served by Maryland Transit Administration Bus Route 9. Today, this route operates to the nearby International Circle.
