## History

Dartmouth Mall (originally known as **North Dartmouth Mall**; the name was changed in the 1990s after the town abandoned officially using the name) was constructed during the years 1969 to 1971 on the site of the 9-Hole Golf Course Paskamansett Links. The town of Dartmouth had zoned all of the land on Route 6 for commercial development, and the North Dartmouth Mall was the first large-scale retail facility constructed along the route. When the mall opened, it featured a 3-screen cinema, 72 stores, and nine restaurants. Anchoring the mall were [Zayre](/source/Zayre), [Sears](/source/Sears), and [The Outlet Company](/source/The_Outlet_Company) department store, as well as mini-anchors Cherry & Webb and [Woolworth](/source/F._W._Woolworth_Company). The former Cherry & Webb and Woolworth's locations have since been subdivided. The Zayre chain was purchased by [Ames](/source/Ames_(discount_stores)) in the late 1980s, and as a result became an Ames store. The Outlet Company went out of business (along with the rest of the company) in 1980 and was replaced with [JCPenney](/source/JCPenney). The former Ames was demolished and replaced with a [Filene's](/source/Filene's) in 2004 (which became a Macy's in 2006 when Macy's bought the Filene's chain).

Since opening, the surrounding area has expanded dramatically. Many plazas have sprung up around it, including four to the west along State Road (Rte. 6) and three along Faunce Corner Road between Rte. 6 and I-195.

## The mall today

In early 2000 the mall went through a dynamic change including new entrances, signage and full interior demolition, and renovation. Although the original layout of the mall did not change, a food court was added. The theaters have been expanded to 12 screens, and are operated by AMC. Outside the mall proper, the parking lot features two restaurants ([Olive Garden](/source/Olive_Garden) and [Taco Bell](/source/Taco_Bell)); the Olive Garden was built on the former site of a Goodyear repair shop, which has since moved into the adjacent Dartmouth Towne Center.

In January 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing in the fall.[2] On June 19, 2019, it was announced that [Burlington](/source/Burlington_(department_store)) would be replacing Sears.[3] In spring 2020, Burlington opened.

On January 7, 2021, [Aldi](/source/Aldi) announced that it would be joining the complex during the fourth quarter of 2021.[4]
