Wyoming Valley Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wyoming Valley Mall is a 914,000 sq. ft. shopping center located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It is owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust. It opened in 1971, shortly before the Hurricane Agnes disaster.

The mall currently consists of over 90 stores, including anchors The Bon-Ton, JC Penney, Sears, and two Macy's locations. The main Macy's location opened as local retailer Zollinger-Harned, which converted to Hess's and then to Kaufmann's. The Macy's Men's & Home store opened as McCrory, before conversion to Kaufmann's Home Store.

The mall recently underwent a major renovation, which was completed in late 2006.
