Before it became a mall, this site in Muhlenberg Township was home to the Reading Fairgrounds Speedway, which drew crowds for decades. Boscov’s opened here in 1965, and the mall followed about 15 years later as the area fully shifted to retail.

BE NICE Tip of the Month: For your safety, do not run to catch a moving bus. Bus drivers cannot pick up passengers once a bus has left the bus stop. This is for everyone’s safety. Please arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early to ensure you can board safely.
