History
The mall opened in 1979 and was expanded (and slightly renovated) in 1995. At the time it was expanded, it was billed as the largest mall in New England. It is owned by The Pyramid Companies. Lord & Taylor opened at the mall in November 1994. It closed in 2003 citing a lack of business. Pyramid in 1998 proposed a 1,400,000-square-foot (130,000 m2) expansion that would have added a 20-screen cinema complex but this attempt was blocked by the city. In August 2007 Apple opened a store. In November 2007 Borders Books opened a store on the in part of a renovated spot formerly occupied by Lord and Taylor. Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Swarovski, Sephora and Burlington Coat Factory opened stores in the mall in 2008. In April 2009, Forever 21 massively expanded their store (it became a flagship store XXI Forever) in the lower floor of the mall using the other part of the space formerly occupied by Lord and Taylor. At the time it was the largest Forever 21 in Massachusetts.
Sports Authority opened in 2006, replacing a former Kahunaville and causing AC Moore to relocate.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
