History
The Mall at Rockingham Park opened in August 1991 with three anchors - Filene's, JC Penney and Sears. A fourth anchor, Jordan Marsh, opened in 1994. All Jordan Marsh stores converted to Macy's in 1996. The Mall at Rockingham Park is located close to the Massachusetts state line.
In 2006, the existing Macy's anchor store (formerly Jordan Marsh) closed, and the Filene's anchor store was converted to Macy's.
In 2012, Lord & Taylor renovated and converted the vacant Macy's/Jordan Marsh anchor, opening its only New Hampshire store in March 2012.[4]
In October 2015, Dick's Sporting Goods opened on the second floor of Sears, as part of a deal with the company, while Sears consolidated on the first floor.[5][6]
The Sears anchor store closed in 2018.[7][8] A Cinemark Theatres complex opened in 2020 near the site of the original Sears Auto Center, which is separate from the rest of the mall.
All Lord & Taylor stores closed permanently in August 2020, as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
On July 9, 2025, Casino Salem opened in the former Lord & Taylor building. One week into its operation, Churchill Downs bought the casino and became the majority owner.[10] In 2026, Churchill Downs announced they would be investing approximately $180 million to $200 million in a facelift of the casino building. Churchill Downs also announced that Casino Salem would be renamed the Rockingham Grand Casino. Renovation work is expected to be finished by mid-2027.[11]
