== Mall History ==
On August 16, 1973, Palmer Park Mall officially opened to the public with Hess's as its sole anchor. In 1982, the mall was expanded to add a second anchor which was Clover. The mall was doing fairly well during the mid-1980s.
== Decline ==
In 1989, the Phillipsburg Mall in Phillipsburg, New Jersey opened, causing many of the tenants inside the Palmer Park Mall to relocate to the new mall as well as the mall not attracting much customers anymore. In 1994, Hess's was converted into Bon-Ton. Also in 1994, the mall was handed over in ownership to Crown American. In 1996, Clover closed down as the chain folded. In October 1998, Boscov's opened in the former Clover space. In 1999, the mall received a $10 million renovation to update the mall's aging decor. In 2003, Crown American was converted into PREIT, who then became the new owners of the mall. On February 23, 2016, Cityview Commercial LLC purchased the mall from PREIT for $18 million. In 2018, Bon-Ton closed down due to the chain folding. In 2022, Decor Home Furniture opened in the former Bon-Ton space.
