The mall was opened on April 24, 1975 to the public to be the first mall opened in Northeastern Connecticut. It was opened with 3 anchor stores, Caldor, Sage-Allen, and A&P Supermarkets. The three anchors remained until Sage-Allen closed all its shops in 1993, including the one in the mall. Shortly after, A&P Supermarkets closed its store in 1994. Cherry & Webb opened in Sage-Allen's shop between 1993-1995 until JCPenney replaced the store in mid-1995. In the same year, TJMaxx opened in the former supermarket.
