Enfield Square Mall, formerly Westfield Shoppingtown Enfield Square, is an enclosed shopping mall that is located in Enfield, Connecticut. The mall is owned by J.P. Morgan Chase.[1] At 788,000 square feet (73,200 m2), Enfield Square is the 10th largest mall in the State of Connecticut, containing 81 shops, all on one level.[2] The anchors include Sears and Target.
The mall opened in 1971, with three anchor stores, G. Fox, JCPenney and Steiger's.[3] In 1993, G. Fox was converted to a Filene's store as a result of a merger. Steiger's ceased operations at the east side of the mall in 1994 when the chain went out of business. In 1995, this space became Sears. In August 2000, JCPenney closed as a result of a nationwide closing of unprofitable stores.[4] The space remained vacant until Filene's expanded operations by moving its men's and home departments there in February 2001.[5] Target built a new anchor on the north side of the mall in October 2001.[6] In 2006, both of the Filene's stores were rebranded as Macy's after yet another merger.
In January 2016 Macy's announced they were closing both of the locations at the mall as a result of a nationwide closing of unprofitable stores.
In February 2016, J.P. Morgan Chase foreclosed on the mall after Madison Marquette (the owner of Centro Enfield, LLC) defaulted on a $240 million loan taken out in 2006.
On August 7th, 2016, the Ruby Tuesday's location at the mall closed.
