The Mall at Fox Run’s time is coming to a close on January 31, 2026. That’s just a fact, no matter how unfortunate it may be.

This staple Newington, New Hampshire, spot has served up decades of memories for many, including family trips, hanging out with friends, and simply enjoying the latest shopping finds.

But while change can be sad and hard, the area is getting a reset with what will become Seacoast Landing, which, according to Seacoast Online, will be a “revamped commercial hub that would include a big box store, small businesses and restaurants.”

Mall at Fox Run to Make Way for Seacoast Landing in Newington, New Hampshire

The Mall at Fox Run is not just closing, but the whole area will be demolished. It really is the end of an era.

But where there once was an enclosed building with multiple stores, Atlantic Retail highlights that Seacoast Landing will be an “81 acre premier regional retail destination.” Meaning it will be multiple buildings to access, rather than just walking through to each one inside.

Red Post Realty even noted what’s proposed for the site, including multiple large anchor buildings, retail and office space, a medical building, pad sites, a new internal road network, and an outdoor pedestrian boulevard connecting Chick-fil-A to Texas.

Seacoast Online said that this massive project will reportedly cost north of $500 million.

What Stores and Restaurants Are at Seacoast Landing in Newington, New Hampshire?

The official announcements as to what places are coming to Seacoast Landing have not been made, but that will be coming soon. So keep an ear out.

Red Post Realty posted a Facebook video sharing a quick update on the project while also asking people what places they want to see come to Seacoast Landing.

The Facebook video garnered hundreds of comments, and we’ve compiled a list of some of the top ones.

Just note that none of these suggestions are confirmed for Seacoast Landing. Red Post Realty even noted that there are NDAs in place, so anything you hear about is likely a rumor until official confirmation.

Let’s take a look and dream of what the next phase of Newington could maybe include!

Some of the favorites based on the comments were definitely places like The Cheesecake Factory, Costco, and IKEA.

Interestingly, some of the suggestions already have other locations in New Hampshire, but there were places mentioned that can’t be found anywhere in the Granite State.

Some of those spots include The Cheesecake Factory, The Disney Store, and The Rainforest Cafe.

What spots will actually wind up at the new Seacoast Landing remains to be seen, but it’s certainly fun to wish your favorite places make the cut. Oh, to dream.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) – A New Hampshire community is mourning after a Manchester native, who recently became a police officer in Texas, was killed in the line of duty.

Elijah Garretson, 27, died Saturday in a shooting. He’s joined the force in Texas last year.

Garretson leaves behind a wife and a 5-year-old daughter.

In a statement, Manchester’s mayor said, “Elijah exemplified a lifetime of service, first as a U.S. Army veteran and later in law enforcement. His sacrifice is deeply felt here at home, and our prayers are with his family, loved ones, and fellow officers during this difficult time.”
