Neshaminy Mall ended 2025 largely empty and far removed from its once-bustling holiday shopping heyday, as redevelopment plans for the 91-acre property remain stalled more than a year after its $27.5 million sale to Paramount Realty. Although still anchored by Barnes & Noble and Boscov’s, fewer than two dozen businesses operate in the mall’s more than 1 million square feet of retail space, with the food court reduced to a single restaurant and only a handful of kiosks in the concourse. Longtime mall staples like Hallmark, Bath & Body Works, and Hot Topic remain, but Shoe Carnival is set to close in January, while some vacant spaces have been repurposed for nontraditional uses like a beauty school, a pop-up wedding venue and a church. Developers have not shared updates, and Bensalem Township has not received any formal redevelopment proposals. Prior plans call for demolishing at least 55% of the mall, but what will replace it — and when — remains uncertain.
