  • Hello everyone, and welcome to the Logan Valley Mall in Altoona Pennsylvania! Beginning its life is an outdoor center in 1965, it would be anchored by Sears and Weis Markets. Two years later, in 1967, developers Crown American would enclose the property, and convert the existing shopping center into an indoor mall. Logan Valley, Mall Would officially began its life as an indoor mall on June 8th, 1967, with Sears, and JCPenney as its original anchors. The mall would be doing so well, that the 1970s saw two major changes with the addition of a movie theater, and an expansion adding a Hess‘s department store as a third anchor. Logan Valley Mall Would see great success throughout the 1980s, but things would halt in the 1990s. December 1994, saw a major fire break out on the property, damaging about 15 tenants on the property. Crown American would then rebuild what was damaged in the mid-1990s. The newly rebuilt portions Logan Valley Mall would be completed and reopened in 1997. During the rebuild, they made some changes, with JCPenney moving to a new larger space, and Hess’s getting converted over to a Kaufmann’s. All of these changes would be successful, and Logan Valley Mall Would continue to live on! 2003 saw Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust by the Logan Valley Mall off of Crown American, and 2006 saw Kaufman‘s get converted to Macy’s. Not much would happen in the early 2010s, however, 2017 saw Namdar Realty group by the mall off of Preit. In December 2018, Sears announced that they would be closing their Logan Malley Mall, store, and the store we close on March 3, 2019. And on July 7, 2021, AMC theaters with close their Logan Valley Mall location. Let’s take a walk through the Logan Valley Mall, and see how it’s doing on a Saturday evening!

    What are your thoughts on Logan Valley Mall, and what do you think it’s future holds?

    That Macy's is done. Probably the entire mall too.

    Video idea for you: Valley Mall in Hagerstown, MD. That is a thriving mall owned by PREIT.
    There has been 3 new businesses that opened in Logan Valley Mall recently:
    “R&A Cafe” in the food court
    “Virago Beauty” near Sears across Applebees
    “Aunt Misty’s Sweets and Treats” across Show Dept near Cinnabon

    The Macy's in Springfield, VA is a 3-story store and is still open. A Macy's in Arlington, VA has closed

    Great video. I have been to this mall several times (even though I do not live in PA), as I have to occasionally go to Altoona for work. It has declined some since Covid, especially the Macy's. I shopped in there just 5 years ago or thereabouts and it was a great Macy's store. I'm sad to see it dwindle away. I love this cute little mall, I hope it survives. At least H&M and Old Navy are hanging on...sad to see it also lost its Applebee's. Restaurants in malls are such a thing of the past

    The JCP at 1:23 definitely reminds me of the Park Meadows JCP to some degree. With that bridge and everything. That Verizon store in the mall looks like what the Frontier Mall one would look like if it were operating today (but its not, its on the periphery now). The Macy's looks like what the Flatirons Nordstrom felt like before it closed-- Extremely spaced out. PS Wish my FYE still looked even soemthing like that--its old location had much more variety in music and movies.

      I stopped by the FYE here to avoid security while filming, and it was a nice one!

    Was there about 6 months ago for the first time in 15 years. Just sad. Macy's was quite a comedown. I wanted a pair of low-heel boots to swap out for the knee killers I was wearing. Nothing, and there were something like 2 sales associates on the entire floor. I didn't have the heart to walk to the other end of the mall, depressed after walking 20 yards.

    Never a good sign when Mcdonalds AND Subway both leave,This mall technically now fits the definition of a dead mall - It does on paper have two anchor tenants but its foot traffic is at abysmal rates.
