Mall at Fox Run
Mall at Fox Run, formerly 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 and Macy's Women's. At, it is New Hampshire's fourth-largest mall, with 84 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. It is less than five minutes from Interstate 95. The mall is just 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 seeking to take advantage of New Hampshire's tax-free retail climate.
For many years, the Mall at Fox Run had four anchor department stores: Sears, J. C. Penney, Macy's, and Filene's. The Filene's brand was discontinued following the Federated and May merger. Fox Run was one of a small number of malls where the former Filene's store was converted into a second Macy's store. The other malls that have done this are the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis, Massachusetts and the Northshore Mall in Peabody, Massachusetts. This gives Macy's at Fox Run a total area of nearly, on par with many of the intermediate-sized Macy's stores nationwide, and makes Macy's the largest department store in the mall.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at the Mall at Fox Run, into Seritage Growth Properties.
On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of its plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The space has been empty since 2019.
The mall was originally managed by Jones Lang Lasalle, and from 2011 through 2017 by Simon Properties.
