Exton Square Mall
Defunct mall in Chester County, Pennsylvania, U.S.
About
The Exton Square Mall is a defunct mall located in the community of Exton in West Whiteland Township, Pennsylvania, roughly 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The mall was originally developed by the Rouse Company and opened in March 1973. The building was shaped as a square (hence the name Exton "Square" Mall), with Strawbridge's (later Macy's), the original anchor, located in the center.
The mall underwent a major renovation and expansion from 1997 to 2000, adding three anchors and a food court to the four corners of the mall, along with a second level to the southern half of the building. However, beginning in the 2010s, vacancies within the mall began to rise due to general declining mall traffic and ongoing competition with the larger King of Prussia mall located 14 miles (23 km) away. By 2023, the facility was cited among lists of dead malls in Pennsylvania. The mall permanently closed on June 30, 2026, with the exception of remaining anchors and medical offices on site.
