In the bottom right picture (the one with the Marshalls entrance on the right), the store on the left (with the red facade) looks like the old Gap style – can anyone confirm this? I can even picture the lowercase “gap” logo in white.

The Jordan Marsh in Bedford was a BEAUTIFUL store in its day (inside). It was so much nicer than the Jordan Marsh “mall”stores generally. Great selection of clothing and an awesome furniture department.

I think Whole Foods would do very well in NH (Bedford or Portsmouth)

New Hampshire has always been 20 years behind in terms of stores/fashion.

NH is no place for a fashionista thats for sure. Ick.

Hey I remember when Staples was a party store. My sister and I would harass my girlfriend when she was working there. Papa Ginos is the bomb and I remember seeing Ace Ventura at the Theatre there.

Get ready people because when the mall is demolished and rebuilt you will have a new store that you have been asking for, It’s called MARKET BASKET. Permit have been approved.

What?! No mention of the Bedford Cinema? It has always been the only reason I ever go to that mall for at least the last 30 years.

I was born in 71, so I can’t be sure of much before that. I know I saw Pete’s Dragon there.

I’m guessing small size was a factor in its eventual demise. Looking at the floorplan, the enclosed mall itself is hardly any larger than the former Montgomery Ward building. Lately it seems like it’s nigh impossible to keep a tiny mall like this viable.

Also, I’d say a lack of solid anchors was a factor. Marshalls and Staples just don’t have the same kind of draw as JCPenney or Macy’s, and having not one, but two defunct anchors (MVP/Decathlon and Linens ‘n Things) along with the weak Bob’s Store sure isn’t helping much either.

You all need to get a life. The town of Bedford will not allow Bob’s Stores to change their exterior sign on the building. Plus, all of the signs next to the road has been there since the get go. Pay attention a little bit, before ratting and raving!
