History Due to the fact that the mall was built on the site of an old drive-in theatre, the Meadow Glen Mall's original interior consisted of pictures of movie stars and other movie-related decor. Signs posted throughout the mall's parking lot still reflect this theme, naming sections of the parking lot after cinema stars such as Clark Gable and Judy Garland . The mall has since gone through several renovations over the years. Until 2001, the mall's main anchor tenant was a Bradlees department store that closed when the chain went into bankruptcy. Kohl's opened in its place in 2002. Other past tenants include York Steak House (which was located where IParty is now), Kay-Bee Toys and Waldenbooks . Toward the end of the 1990's, the Meadow Glen Mall ran the risk of being considered a dead mall, as many of the stores either moved elsewhere or went out of business. The mall has since bounced back, as other stores occupied vacated spaces around the mall. Around the mid 1990's, ex-drummer of Extreme and manager of Salem band Godsmack , Paul Geary , operated a music lesson shop in the mall, which is in his hometown. {Link without Title} Meadow Glen today Meadow Glen is home to two anchor stores, Kohl's and Marshall's , along with approximately 40 in-line tenants. Other current tenants include Bath And Body Works , Spencer Gifts , Claires , Olympia Sports and Radio Shack . Meadow Glen has a fairly small food court which includes McDonalds , Panda Express , Friendly's and Dunkin' Donuts . Also, there is an Old Country Buffet restaurant at Meadow Glen, and a Sea Lion Sushi restaurant has recently opened. The mall also has a Customer Service desk (located at the mall's center) and various coin-operated kids rides. EXTERNAL LINKS |
