History

Emerald Square, October 2008.

Originally opened in 1989 as a joint venture of New England Development and The Pyramid Companies, Emerald Square's original anchors included JCPenney, Sears, and G. Fox., [3] with Lechmere added in 1992. The G. Fox store was renamed Filene's in 1993, [4] while Lechmere was closed in 1997 as a result of chain liquidation. Lord & Taylor bought the vacant location in 1998 and doubled the space. [5] A carousel was installed in the food court in 1999.

Meanwhile, Pyramid had sold its interest in the mall in 1998 to New England Development, [6] which turned around and sold most of its shopping mall portfolio to a joint venture led by Simon Property Group in 1999. Lord & Taylor was repositioned and closed this location entirely in 2004. The space converted to Filene's, which had opened a separate Men's & Home store in 2005. In 2006, Filene's stores became Macy's, as well as the Home & Men's stores.

On January 29, 2021, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 23 stores nationwide. The store closed on April 18, 2021. [7] [8] Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the mall in September 2022. [1]
