Herberger’s offers a wide selection of national and private brands of fashion apparel for women, men and children, as well as shoes, cosmetics, jewelry, bedding and furniture. The Herberger’s store will be located in the space formerly occupied by Dillard’s.
Logan, Utah is one of America’s Top 25 Micro-Metropolitan areas and Cache Valley Mall is the only mall within a 40 mile radius. Logan is also home to Utah State University, a growing university with current enrollment of approximately 30,000 students. Herberger’s will join jcpenney, T.J.Maxx and Larry Miller Theaters as anchors at the property.

“We are excited to announce the addition of Herberger’s to Cache Valley Mall, further expanding our relationship with The Bon-Ton Stores. Bon-Ton shares our focus on middle markets around the country, and we expect Herberger’s tailored approach to merchandising to resonate extremely well in the marketplace,” said Andrew Silberfein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rouse Properties. “Announcing Herberger’s as a new anchor so shortly after Dillard’s closed is another demonstration of our ability to attract premier retailers quickly and efficiently.
