Fox Run Mall
Encyclopedia
The Fox Run Mall is a shopping mall
in Newington, New Hampshire
, just north of Portsmouth
. Its main anchor stores include JCPenney, Macy's
Men's & Home Store (formerly Jordan Marsh
), Macy's
Women's (formerly Filene's
), and Sears
. At 603618 square feet (56,077.9 m²), it is New Hampshire's fourth largest mall, with nearly 100 shops, all on one level. Completed in 1983, this mall functioned mainly as a successor to the smaller and dated Newington Mall, which has since been converted into a big box retail center.
The mall is located just off U.S. Route 4
and the Spaulding Turnpike
(NH Route 16
). It is less than five minutes from Interstate 95
. The mall is just 3 miles (4.8 km) from the Maine
state border, and like the Pheasant Lane Mall
and the Mall at Rockingham Park
near the Massachusetts
border, the Fox Run Mall draws a significant portion of its business from out-of-state customers (mostly from Maine) seeking to take advantage of New Hampshire's tax free
retail climate.
Fox Run Mall is one of a small number of malls to have converted their Filene's store into a second Macy's store following the Federated
and May
merger. The other malls that have done this are the Cape Cod Mall

, and the Northshore Mall
in Peabody, Massachusetts
. This gives Macy's at Fox Run a total area of nearly 140000 square feet (13,006.4 m²), on par with many of the intermediate-sized Macy's stores nationwide, and put together, make Macy's the largest department store (in total square feet) in the mall. http://www.seacoastventures.net/featured/1006feature4.html
Fox Run Mall was managed by Jones Lang Lasalle but as of May 2011 Simon Properties took over management.
