Hemet Valley Mall is an indoor mall in Hemet, California. It is located on Florida Avenue (State Route 74) between Kirby Street and Gilmore Street. It is anchored by J.C. Penney and Hobby Lobby, with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears.^[1]

The mall, which cost $10 million to build opened on October 15, 1980, with 200,000 square feet (19,000 m²) of retail space. At opening it was anchored by a 50,400-square-foot (4,680 m²), $1.8-million Harris Company department store (later became Harris-Gottschalks in 1999) and a J.C. Penney, plus 40 specialty shops.^[2][3] Sears was then annexed to the mall in 1998 (relocated from standalone store), which later closed in 2020 as a plan of closing 40 stores nationwide.^[4] Gottschalks closed in 2009 due to bankruptcy, which was first replaced by Forever 21, and later Hobby Lobby.
