Exton Square Mall is a shopping mall located in the Exton, Pennsylvania in West Whiteland Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The mall features a parking garage and food court. It is located at the crossroads of Chester County at the intersection of U.S. Route 30 Business and Pennsylvania Route 100. The mall is anchored by Macy's and Boscov's retail stores and a Round One Entertainment, an arcade and bowling center.

The Exton Square Mall is shaped as a square with the southern half of the mall two floors and the northern half one floor. Macy's is located at the center of the mall while the other anchor stores and the food court are on corners of the mall. It is owned by PREIT.

As of 2023, the facility has been cited among lists of "dead malls" in Pennsylvania,[3] although the Exton Square Mall Carnival remains a popular event.[4] The mall is 62% occupied as of April 2024.[5] It contains a handful[dubious – discuss] of small stores and a food court, which only has two tenants remaining: Pennsylvania's first Chick-Fil-A and a local pizza parlor.

PREIT is considering a sale of the dying shopping mall, [6] and has ceased investing in the "non-core" property. Plans for redevelopment have surfaced in recent months. [7]
