Montgomery Mall - North Wales, Pennsylvania - two-story indoor shopping center

Montgomery Mall is a regional mall located in North Wales, Pennsylvania. The two-story mall features four department stores and retail space for 150 specialty stores spread over 1.18 million square feet. It is owned by Kravco Simon and is part of the national network of Simon Malls. It originally opened in 1978 and has undergone a series of renovations, including a complete facelift that removed the mall's signature central spiral staircase in the early 2000s. Current tenants at the Montgomery Mall include JC Penney, Macy's, Sears and Dick's Sporting Goods. Past tenants of the Montgomery Mall include Wanamaker's, Hecht's and Strawbridge's department stores.

Montgomery Mall originally opened in 1978, one of the first enclosed malls in Pennsylvania. The mall was acquired by Kravco Simon in 2003 as part of a deal that included controlling interest in two other malls, one in Bangor, Maine and one in Puerto Rico. Montgomery Mall underwent its latest facelift in 2008. That facelift included all new lighting, soft leather seating throughout the mall, a new color scheme, a revamped and expanded food court and the addition of Dick's Sporting Goods as a mini-anchor store.

With the opening of Dick's Sporting Goods in 2008, Montgomery Mall returned to its full complement of four anchor stores, one at each of the mall's four main entrances. JC Penney, Sears and Macy's are all long-time tenants. A fifth anchor store, Boscov's, closed in October 2008 as part of the mall's planned restructuring, and the retail space remained unoccupied as of December, 2009.

The mall's 2008 renovation included a newly remodeled and expanded Food Court, which offers a wide variety of food choices for shoppers. Among the dining options available at the Food Court are Orange Julius/Dairy Queen, Chick-Fil-A, Sbarros, McDonald's, Original Philly Steak, Boardwalk Fries, Fruit Sensations, Cosimo's Pizza, Tuscany Pizza Market and Wok `n' Roll.

In addition to the Food Court counter/takeout options, Montgomery Mall also features two full service dining restaurants - Salsa Mexican Grill and TGIFriday's. A Bertucci's Restaurant is planned directly outside the enclosed mall area.

According to Kravco Simon, Montgomery Mall features 150 specialty stores, ranging from A Dollar to Aerie by American Eagle Outfitters. The services and retail shops available at the mall include Ann Taylor Loft, Guess, Gap and Hollister, Co.

The Montgomery Mall offers a number of kid-friendly activities and features. In addition to hosting community events like the annual Mall-o-Ween Halloween party and the Signing Santa, the mall is home to the Imagination Playzone, an indoor play area outfitted with swing sets, a moon bounce and other kids' activities. Imagination Playzone is also fitted with a comfortable adult observation area so that moms and dads can relax while watching their kids at play.
