The Northshore Mall is a shopping mall in Peabody, Massachusetts, located on Route 114. The mall is currently anchored by Nordstrom, Sears, J. C. Penney, and Macy's. The mall is approximately 1.685 million ft² in size, and most of this space is located on one level, with the exception of the Nordstrom wing and most anchor stores. The former Jordan Marsh store was four stories, until it was demolished to make way for the Nordstrom store. The mall is currently managed by Simon Property Group, and is less than a mile away from Simon's Liberty Tree Mall.
The Northshore Shopping Center first opened in September 1958 as an open-air shopping center. It was anchored by Jordan Marsh and an adjoining Filene's, and included Sears, as well as Kresge, J.J. Newberry, RH Stearns, and Stop & Shop. Recreational facilities at the time included a bowling alley, a cinema, and a small amusement park called Kiddietown next to the former Sears & Roebuck, where Toys R Us is currently located. The shopping center went through several changes in the 1970s and 1980s, including the expansion of Sears to a full-line anchor. Starting with a small section near the Sears store, the entire outside shopping center was enclosed to better compete with nearby Liberty Tree Mall, constructed by New England Development in 1972.
In 1992, Northshore Mall was acquired by New England Development, which expanded the mall to almost 1.7 million ft². On the northwest end of the mall, Filene's built a replacement store where the amusement park was, while Lord & Taylor also constructed a new store at this end as well. Both stores had their opening in 1993. A new food court was added adjoining the original Filene's location, which was gutted and rebuilt for the addition of J. C. Penney. In 1999, New England Development sold the mall to a joint venture led by Simon Property Group, which also assumed management of the center.
