Wenatchee Valley Mall is a shopping mall located in East Wenatchee, Washington. It opened in 1978^[1] and is anchored by Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy's, Ross Dress For Less and Sears. The mall has been managed by Jones Lang LaSalle since 2005.^[1]

The Gross leasable area of the mall is 269,464 square feet^[2], meaning it is smaller than a regional mall, per the definitions of the International Council of Shopping Centers.^[3]^[4] However, despite its small size, Wenatchee Valley Mall is the only mall within an 80-mile radius of East Wenatchee,^[5] and thus serves a population of over 200,000 people.^[2]

[edit] History

Prior to the existence of Wenatchee Valley Mall, the site was occupied by a strip mall known as Eastmont Shopping Center, which featured Sears, Schneider's Department Store and Eastmont Pharmacy.^[6] The center was re-developed as Wenatchee Valley Mall in 1978, with Lamonts as an additional anchor store.

The Bon Marché had planned to add a store at Wenatchee Valley Mall as early as 1996^[7]; however, the store did not open until 2001. This store became Bon-Macy's in 2003, and Macy's in 2005. Gottschalks, which replaced Lamonts in 2000, closed in 2005, and was replaced with Bed Bath & Beyond and Ross Dress For Less.
