The Silver City Galleria is an enclosed, two-level, super-regional mall located off Route 24 and Route 140 in Taunton, Massachusetts. It covers a leasable area of over 1 million sq ft, and serves multiple cities and towns in the region including: Taunton, Brockton, New Bedford, Fall River, Somerset, Raynham, Assonet, Bridgewater, Acushnet, and Middleborough.
The mall's facilities include 120 retail stores, a 10-screen cinema, a food court, a center court, and a children's play area. Security is managed by IPC International, and facilities services are managed by UGL Limited's Unicco.
The Silver City Galleria opened on April 7, 1992. It was planned and developed by The Pyramid Companies, around the same time that several other malls in the region - Independence Mall (Now Kingston Collection) and Berkshire Mall - were being built. When it first opened, Silver City was seemingly situated in the middle of nowhere; the surrounding area was a forest, with little to no other developments. However, its strategic location at the intersection of two major freeways allowed it to draw traffic from cities in all directions. The modern mall quickly became a popular shopping destination in the southeastern Massachusetts area, bringing fatal competition to many smaller local malls such as the now-defunct Mill River Place.
