I recently brought back out the few Newmarket North/Newmarket Fair microfilm scans I could get back in January of 2006 for a paper I’m working on. I forgot I had a somewhat complete list (albeit in pieces so I can’t just you know scan it) of the original tenants on opening day (March 26, 1975). Here is the best copy I have of the directory.

Foxmoor Casuals – 18

Kanter’s – 31
Lerner Shops – 44

Morrison’s Cafeteria – 54 (this place is still open but changed hands to Piccaddily in the late 1990’s)

Pearle Optical – 13
Things Remembered – 69
Tinder Box – 71
Toy City – 65
WaldenBooks – 16 (left in about 1995, 1996 sometime around then)
Wide World of Music – 17
Theaters
Newmarket North 4 Theaters – 39 (this place had to leave after 1992, ’cause in late 1992 I saw Home Alone 2 Lost In New York at this theatere)
And of course the original and only anchors the mall ever had Sears, Leggett, and Miller & Rhoads, which in 2007 are Sears, Northrop Grumman, and Verizon, and of course the mall is now Netcenter. A lot of the stores are now Amsec (my dad works for Amsec, but I don’t think he ever has to go to the Netcenter location) I keep on forgetting to mention that if you drive by the old M&R building you can still see Miller & Rhoads’s labelscar, I’ve just never been able to get a photo because Verizon employees are always standing outside.
