History
Londonderry Mall opened in 1972 with 85 stores and services.
The mall underwent its first renovation in late 1979, then again in the later 1980s. transforming the mall from a dark, street-themed mall to a more open shopping environment with added skylights and enhanced lighting. The mall expanded to 150 stores and services, and increasing popularity. [1]
In late 2013, the relocation and closing of many major tenants and small stores left the mall with many unoccupied spaces. The mall then announced a complete mall renovation and remerchandising project that will enhance what the mall has to offer.
