The mall is located on Lehigh Street, just south of Interstate 78 exit 57, near Allentown's southern border with Salisbury Township and Emmaus.
Originally the location of Hess's South, a satellite location of the Hess's downtown Allentown store, the center was expanded in 1975 into an enclosed shopping center although the anchor stores opened a year earlier.[2] The mall underwent renovation in 1992. Its current anchor store is Bon-Ton.
After the move of Gold's Gym up Lehigh Street from the mall, in August 2011 Ross Dress for Less signed a lease for 27,000 square feet of vacant space at that end.[3] The store opened on October 6, 2012. In June 2014, PREIT sold the mall to Nicholas Park Mall LLC for $23.6 million. They plan to renovate the mall.[4]
