Evidently smoke from a candy store triggered the evacuation.
From NBC 10:
Crews cleared the Montgomery Mall in North Wales, Pennsylvania shortly after 10 a.m., said Montgomery County dispatchers. No injuries were reported and everyone made it out of the mall OK after smoke began coming from the Gertrude Hawk Chocolates store, said dispatchers.
