The Mall at Rockingham Park is located in Salem, New Hampshire. It is the largest shopping mall in New Hampshire,[1] with 1,250,000 square feet (116,000 m2) of floor space. The mall is adjacent to the Rockingham Park race track in Salem, and was the state's third shopping mall to be built. The mall now hosts 140 stores, with anchors that include Macy's, JCPenney, Sears and Lord & Taylor.

Like the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, the Mall at Rockingham Park is located close to the Massachusetts border. New Hampshire has no sales tax on most goods. The success of the Mall at Rockingham Park, which opened in August 1991, caused the Methuen Mall across the line in Methuen, Massachusetts, to close in 1997, and be replaced with a "big box" center.[citation needed] It also caused the adjacent (and older) Rockingham Mall to convert into a "big box" center as well, as Salem could no longer support two shopping malls.

In 2006, the mall's original Macy's store (formerly Jordan Marsh) was closed, with Macy's moving into the location formerly occupied by Filene's. In Spring 2012, Lord & Taylor will open their first New Hampshire store in the former Macy's/Jordan Marsh.[2]

The mall is managed and owned by Simon Property Group.
