The anchors stores are Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor and Filene's. The Lord & Taylor is slated to be closed and replaced with a J.C. Penny's. There is also a large cinema which includes an IMAX theater. A footbridge links the mall to the high-rise Westin Hotel and the Rhode Island Convention Center.
Opened in 1999, the mall was instrumental into bringing people back to downcity Providence after many fled to the suburbs.
