The Shoppes at Trexler

The Shoppes at Trexler (formerly Trexler Mall) is a former regional shopping center located in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania, United States. Trexlertown is a suburb of Allentown. The mall used to serve the western suburbs of Allentown, such as Trexlertown. The mall opened in 1974 with anchors Grant City and A&P Supermarket. A Laneco discount store opened a year later. The mall had a unique L-shape. A wing lead from Laneco to Grant's, and a wing from Grant's to A&P. Only two years later, Grant City was converted into a Hess's Department Store. The Trexler Mall Coin Laundry entered the mall in 1981. The next change occurred in 1988, when A&P switched banners into a Super Fresh grocery store. Between 1993 and 1995, there was a major anchor shuffle in the largely vacant mall. All three anchors switched names. Super Fresh closed in 1993, becoming Giant shortly after. Then, Hess's became The Bon Ton in 1994. The former site of Laneco was replaced with a flea market, then a health center. In 2001, the dead mall was de-malled into a strip center, and renamed. The wings became Famous Footwear, Dollar Tree, Hallmark, among others. A new anchor, Kohl's, took over much of the space that had formerly been the enclosed portion of the mall.
