HISTORY RI Mall opening in 1968 as the Midland Mall CURRENT STATUS In 1997 one of the anchor stores, Filenes was closing this branch, possibly since another branch is at the neirboring Warwick Mall. This Can be considered a major turning point in the profitabity of RI Mall. After the Closure of Filenes, the retail space it took as well as 1/3 of the mall (food court, etc.) was demoshiled (for no good reason) and has been replaced by two other stores that only take up one floor; Walmart on the first level and Kohls on the second. These stores though, don't have any inside access to the mall, thus possibly causing another downfall. Of the Current 28 on the main span (plus 12 on the side halls) Only 11 are Occupied.
