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:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
