Mall History and Changes
The Lehigh Valley Mall first opened its doors in October 1976. In 2003, a company called Simon Property Group bought the mall. They still manage it today.
The mall has changed over the years. In 1995, it had a big update. A spiral ramp that connected the two floors was removed. In its place, a new glass elevator was added. Old fountains were taken out, and the inside and outside of the mall got a fresh look.
In October 2007, the mall grew even more. A new outdoor area called a "lifestyle center" was added. This part of the mall has stores like Apple, Sephora, and Barnes & Noble.
There is also another outdoor shopping area nearby. It is called the Lehigh Valley Convenience Center. You can find more shops and restaurants there. In 2019, Dave & Buster's announced it would open inside the mall in 2020.
