History

Hanover Mall was built in 1971 and renovated in 1999.[1] Originally the mall anchors were Woolworth, Zayre and Almy's. Sears was later added to the mall. Almy's closed in 1987 and its space was filled by Filene's. Zayre became Ames after the chains merged in 1989. Jordan Marsh closed in 1996 shortly after it became Macy's and was then torn down to become a new wing which housed JCPenney. Filene's was expanded about this time. Old Navy replaced the food court which had not seen enough business to remain. In 2002, Ames closed and the space became Walmart in Fall 2004.[2] In January 2015, it was announced the JCPenney store was closing as part of a plan to close 39 underperforming stores nationwide.[3] After being vacant for nearly two years, the defunct JCPenney store has since been converted into the Hanover Mall Event Center, and is currently the venue for the SouthCoast Comic Con fan convention.[4] On September 5, 2019, it was announced that Sears would also be closing on December 15, 2019.[5] On October 5, 2019 it was announced that Walmart would be closing as well on October 25, 2019 which left Macy's as the only anchor left.[6] Old Navy closed as well in 2019. A new outdoor shopping center called Hanover Crossing which is expected to open in 2022, will replace the mall which closed in January 2020 and was torn down in April 2020. Macy's will remain at this location and will stay open during construction.
