Viewmont Mall is one of the biggest malls to find in northeastern Pennsylvania regions, with it easy to access just off I-81. There is plenty of parking with a decent amount of space to move around, and easy to locate the entrances. The mall itself is pretty big, with decent selections of stores to choose from. Most of the stores found are your typical retail stores, as JCPenney is still open and running. I was a bit surprised to see FYE still in operation, which didn't have a big sign indicating it was closing. In the mall's condition, it is nowhere close to becoming a dead mall anytime soon. The only thing I found a bit of a surprise is, that the food court is tiny not providing a lot of services. That also includes limited tables which is another spark. Who knows if it downsized over time or not. The only store that's connected, but isn't accessible to the mall hallway is Home Goods. With that, Viewmont has it all. read more

This mall still has an Orange Julius, which honestly makes it superior (Hence the four star minimum). What's the point of going to the mall if you can't get the drink of the Gods? It's one of the better local malls in the area. Though, their food court leaves much to be desired. The bathrooms were...not the best in cleanliness when I visited. Their Forever 21 was really nice, though. I also like the teeny tiny corner Claire's. read more

Viewmont Mall is one of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's three malls, and the one in the best shape store wise. The mall is easy to find, off of I-81 and the Scranton Carbondale Highway, but traffic is almost always heavy in the area. Viewmont has most of the popular national chain stores, along with anchors Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods/Field & Stream. HomeGoods has an external entrance and Books-A-Million has a standalone building on the other side of Macy's. Additional expansion space exists on the backside of the Sporting Goods/Field & Stream for two more stores. What problems does this mall have? Viewmont Mall is bland and easily forgettable compared to Wyoming Valley Mall or Lehigh Valley Mall. It's one long hallway essentially, making it feel smaller than it actually is. JCPenney takes up too much of the malls center court. The food court barely qualifies as one. Only two restaurants remain open along with an enclosed Buffalo Wild Wings. The area around the mall has many other, better options. Overall, Viewmont Mall is the best mall in Northeast/Central PA. It's just not the most interesting mall you'll ever visit. read more

A lot of different stores and kiosks. There are always good sales happening and a good variety of items. Dick's Sporting Goods has improved as it recently put in a wall to climb (rock climbing wall). The pizza in the food court is the best by far! read more

Aeropastle employees are rude and overbearing, particularly one middle aged woman with brown hair and glasses (didn't have a name tag on) that i'm assuming is a manager. she's condescending to customers, snarky and accuses people in her store of stealing when they're merely looking at the stores merchandise. wouldn't recommend going into the store when she's there as she makes the entire experience miserable and will 9 out of 10 times be horrible to you for no reason. tried to look up a way to report her attitude to a customer service system or on the aero website but to no avail. besides that store, mall is great! read more

I've been going to this mall since I was a kid. At one point it seemed like it was going downhill because a lot of the stores closed. But within the last couple years, it has grown a lot. A lot of the stores that were at the Steamtown mall are here now. I still really enjoy coming here in shopping. read more

Viewmont Mall just like all other malls, one floor malls with a huge exception nobody is stepping on your toes, nobody is rushing you and you don't have to jump to the side when baby carriage is about to run you over. Bathrooom is spotless and floors are shining everywhere. You can find a nice looking hair salon, as well as Verizon store and a cute places to eat. The atmosphere here is different then any mall I have ever been at. People are so calm and strolling from store to store like they visiting museum. Highly recommend to visit if you are planning to go shopping for basic clothes even Victoria Secret, Forever 21 or Aeropostale. But if you r looking for something designed it's a wrong place to visit. read more

Recently stopped at this Mall on my way to Philadelphia from Rochester. It was nice to see a mall without a bunch of empty store fronts. All the main stores are here, which was great, the food court had plenty of options, and there's an Applebee's on one end. We were able to do a little shopping, grab some lunch and be on our way in no time. Oh, also it was clean, well lit, the people were nice, and overall it just had a nice vibe to it, wish we had one like this here in Rochester. If in the area again, will definitely stop. read more

I'm really not sure what is going on here. The food court only had a few options open and so many empty booths.

Empty storefronts dominate all wings of the mall now, with the Bon-Ton wing now being almost empty. The empty storefronts of Gap, Old Navy, Hot Topic, Arby's, and f.y.e. all remain identifiable, a reminder of this mall's better times. Ownership has not been keeping up with maintenance, as the parking lot has several areas blocked off and water damage is beginning to become more visible in several places. The area surrounding the mall has started to rebound after several tough years, with replacements coming in for Gander Outdoors, Grizzly Industrial, Pier 1, and Toys R Us. This makes the property attractive for redevelopment. What will happen to the mall? Demolition. Walmart would be an obvious option for a redevelopment, as the Williamsport area lacks a Walmart Supercenter and the current store in Montoursville has no room for expansion. Some portion of the mall and Burlington could remain depending on how creative future ownership can be. I can remember when this was one of the good malls that would be a special trip to shop at.

The former Bon-Ton and Sears remain vacant, with Macy's also leaving in early 2025. Two major power outages also greatly affected the mall in 2025. What's left? The former Sears wing is largely vacant except for the H&M with the Macy's wing being not far behind. Both wings were cold during my visit and I'm not sure how much heat is being supplied. The JCPenney wing remains almost fully occupied with stores including American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Maurices, and Shoe Dept. Encore among others. Food wise, Cinnabon keeps center court busy, with Auntie Anne's and Dino's remaining, but the food court is totally empty. One of the major problems is the clear lack of ownership investing in the mall. Kohan, followed by current owner's 4th Dimension Properties have not fixed the ring roads. Buckets can be found collecting water at center court and several other places in the mall, with the center court leaks being a problem for several years. The situation here will not get better.
