New Harbour Mall

New Harbour Mall was an enclosed shopping mall located in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States, at the intersection of Route 24 and Route 81. Opened in 1971, the mall was noted for having once been the only shopping center in the United States to feature rival department store chains Kmart and Walmart as its anchor stores until 2013.
The New Harbour Mall opened in 1971 with anchor tenants Bradlees and Grant's. The mall was really popular in the first few years, as it had many stores that were appealing to the average 1970s shopper. In 1975, the entire Grant's chain folded, and Kmart opened in the space the next year. In 1984, Loews Theatres moved into what was a previously empty space. 
By 1993, the mall received a multi million dollar renovation, which completely overhauled both Kmart and Bradlees, removed the wooden shingles at the front of the mall, replacing it with green siding, painted the interior of the mall with green and pink, and renamed the entire thing to "New Harbour Mall." 
Just days before 2000 came to a close, Bradlees announced that they would go out of business, and close every single location. Just after, Walmart announced plans to fill the space. This would make the New Harbour Mall the only mall with a Walmart, and a Kmart. By 2007, the movie theater closed permanently. In 2011, Walmart announced plans to move out of the New Harbour Mall, demolish an old shopping mall (which used to be one of the city's many factories), and open a new store there. This left the mall without a second anchor. In 2015, the CEA Group announced plans to demolish the mall and replace it with an outdoor shopping complex, with a movie theater, multiple restaurants, and much more.
The mall closed its doors on Jan 2, 2016 to undergo a $50 million renovation by the CEA Group. The demolition begun just after Kmart's lease expired by July of 2016. Demolition took about a year and a half to complete, and the new complex was to be named "South Coast Marketplace."
