[edit] History
Exton Square Mall was built by the Rouse Company and opened its doors in 1973 as a split-level mall with one anchor store. This anchor, Strawbridge & Clothier, later known as just "Strawbridge's", was centrally located in a two-story location. The main body of the mall ringed the anchor store with an octagonal split-level common area.
By the 1990s, the mall was showing its age, especially in comparison to the development of the King of Prussia Mall 20 miles to the east. In 1996, Boscov's, JC Penney, and Sears signed leases to open locations at Exton Square following a massive renovation and expansion project. The expansion added three new anchor stores, a new food court, two parking structures, and a completed second level. Construction concluded in early 2000, with a grand reopening in May of that year. In 2006, Strawbridge's became Macy's.
