Lebanon Valley Mall
The Lebanon Valley Mall is a shopping mall that is located on the north side of U.S. Route 422 just west of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States. Opened on September 10, 1975, the mall features Boscov's, Hobby Lobby, Planet Fitness, and PriceRite as its anchor stores.

History

The site started with a Boscov's Department Store in August 1972 and was completed in 1975. The Boscov's store at Lebanon Valley Mall was the first Boscov's location to be opened outside of Berks County.

The Lebanon Valley Mall Company, a real estate development group owned by parent company Boscov's, oversaw construction of this mall on U.S. Route 422 on the west side of town. Boscov's then served as one of the original anchor stores, along with G. C. Murphy's discount division, Murphy's Mart. Other major tenants upon opening included Acme Markets, Rea & Derrick drugstore, Kinney Shoes, RadioShack, Zales Jewelers, Hardee's, General Nutrition Center, Waldenbooks, and a movie theater. In 1988, following the closure of the Acme Markets grocery store, Boscov's expanded into that space.

Work on the next major expansion began in 1996; JCPenney then became a new anchor, but has since closed. Great Escape Lebanon Valley 10 opened at the mall in 2006, and was later changed to a Regal in 2014. The mall previously had a Fox Theater.

In 2010, mall managers announced that Hobby Lobby would open that year in the former JCPenney space. Planet Fitness then opened in early 2014, using part of the former Ames space. Price Rite opened in June 2015.
