Pheasant Lane Mall, occupying 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2), is one of the largest shopping malls in the state of New Hampshire and the focal point of the commercial area in south Nashua.
Currently, the mall has more than 140 stores and kiosks, including 5 anchor stores: Target, Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, and Dick's Sporting Goods, plus 15 restaurants. As of 2012, it is owned and managed by Simon Property Group of Indianapolis.
Located just south of Exit 1 of the F.E. Everett Turnpike/U.S. Route 3 in Nashua and directly at northbound exit-only Exit 36 of US 3 in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, the property straddles the state line, although the entire mall is in New Hampshire.
Proximity to the border has long drawn shoppers from Massachusetts seeking to take advantage of New Hampshire's lack of a sales tax.
Approximately 1/3 of the parking lot and water runoff area is located in Tyngsborough. Shoppers who park in front of the Sears entrance closer to the Joe's American Bar and Grill walk across the state line in front of the building on the sidewalk to get to and from their cars. Some people who park in the southwestern portion of the JCPenney parking lot park their cars in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts at once. The JCPenney store has an unusual pentagonal shape at the state line to keep it entirely within New Hampshire by a few inches. If the store still had a square corner at its south end, the entire mall would be subject to Massachusetts sales taxes, even with only a few inches of the structure in Massachusetts.

“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
