Mall at Rockingham Park Unveils Big Renovation Plans

The Mall at Rockingham Park will launch its major renovation in May, with the construction completed before the holiday shopping season, Simon Property Group announced April 23.

Mall hours will not be affected by the renovation.

"This renovation comes at an exciting time for The Mall at Rockingham Park," General Manager Cindy Hall said in the announcement. "Over the years, I feel we have solidified our place as the preeminent, tax-free shopping destination in southern New Hampshire. We’re confident this transformation will enhance the mall to become one of the best in the entire region, and further strengthen our position as a shopping and dining destination for those not only in New Hampshire, but also in the Greater Boston area and neighboring Vermont, Maine and even Canada."

Renovation work will include:

• Redesign of existing mall entrances, including automatic doors and a state-of-the-art façade, complemented by new lighting, signage and seating;
• New dining atmosphere, including an entirely new color scheme with new lighting, new flooring, an updated seating layout with banquette seating and café-style soft-seating areas, decorative columns, and electronic charging stations for shopper convenience;

• Renovation of the men’s, women’s and family restrooms with addition of nursing area for moms;
• Flooring upgrades, including the addition of carpeting to some areas on Level 2
