History
Harbour Mall opened in 1971 with discounters Bradlees and Grant City (the discount division of W.T. Grant) as its anchor stores, the latter of which was converted to Kmart 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, new entrance canopies, and re-designing of the common mall areas.
Bradlees closed its doors in 2001 with the demise of the chain; within a year, Walmart opened up in the former Bradlees space, thus making New Harbour Mall the first shopping center in the United States to feature both Kmart and Walmart.
The mall's movie theaters closed in September 2007. Walmart relocated to a new supercenter on Brayton Avenue in Fall River in 2013. The mall closed its doors Jan 2, 2016 to undergo a $50 Million renovation. It will be renamed "South Coast Plaza"
