**SouthCoast Marketplace** is a [power center](/source/Power_center_(retail)) in [Fall River, Massachusetts](/source/Fall_River%2C_Massachusetts), United States, at the intersection of [Route 24](/source/Massachusetts_Route_24) and [Route 81](/source/Massachusetts_Route_81). The center opened in 2017 and replaced the **New Harbour Mall**, an enclosed [shopping mall](/source/Shopping_mall) that was located at the site from 1971 to 2016.

New Harbour Mall was noted for having once been the only shopping center in the United States to feature rival [department store](/source/Department_store) chains [Kmart](/source/Kmart_(United_States)) and [Walmart](/source/Walmart) as its [anchor stores](/source/Anchor_store) until 2013.[2][3] The mall closed its doors on Jan 2, 2016 to undergo a $50 million renovation by the CEA Group, and was demolished and replaced by SouthCoast Marketplace.[4]

## History

**Harbour Mall** opened in 1971 with discounters [Bradlees](/source/Bradlees) and Grant City (the discount division of [W.T. Grant](/source/W.T._Grant)) as its anchor stores,[5] the latter of which was converted to [Kmart](/source/Kmart_(United_States)) following the 1976 closure of the Grant City chain. Except for the addition of a movie theater in 1984, Harbour Mall remained largely unchanged until a 1993 renovation which added [skylights](/source/Skylight_(window)), new entrance canopies, and re-designing of the common mall areas.[6]

The mall's movie theaters closed in September 2007.[7][8]

In its final years, the New Harbour Mall was largely empty except for its anchor stores.[9] In 2015, a reporter for the Fall River's *[Herald News](/source/The_Herald_News)* described the mall's interior as "Dark, depressing and almost eerie, with most of its store spaces shuttered and empty."[9] Among the few interior stores left in the mall at that time were [Payless ShoeSource](/source/Payless_ShoeSource) and [Rainbow](/source/Rainbow_Shops), with other previous tenants such as [GNC](/source/GNC_(store)) and [RadioShack](/source/RadioShack) having already closed their locations in the mall after Walmart relocated to a new, larger store elsewhere in Fall River in 2013.[9] The interior of the mall was closed on January 2, 2016.[10] Kmart, the last remaining anchor tenant, closed its store in the mall in May 2016.[11]

Following its conversion from the New Harbour Mall to SouthCoast Marketplace, the property is now a [power center](/source/Retail_park) with no indoor mall sections.[12][13] The anchor tenants of the plaza, according to the official website, are [Market Basket](/source/Market_Basket_(New_England)), [T.J. Maxx](/source/T.J._Maxx), and Picture Show Theaters. All of which opened in October 2017.[14] Other tenants include [PetSmart](/source/PetSmart), [Staples](/source/Staples_Inc.), [Old Navy](/source/Old_Navy), [Ulta Beauty](/source/Ulta_Beauty), [Supercuts](/source/Supercuts), [Five Below](/source/Five_Below), [Qdoba](/source/Qdoba), [Five Guys](/source/Five_Guys), [Starbucks](/source/Starbucks), [Burger King](/source/Burger_King), [Chick-fil-A](/source/Chick-fil-A), and [Jersey Mike's Subs](/source/Jersey_Mike's_Subs).[15][16]
