I found a Franklin/Smithfield city directory from 2000 that was about to be thrown away at the Windsor library today. This is the only information I could find in the book about the old abandoned shopping center. Here is what was left in 1999:
Goodwyn Services Unlimited
Radio Shack
Carrington & Associates
Clark’s Janitorial Service
Primerica Financial Services
Fastenal Company
Electrical Suppliers
Medical Concepts Unlimited
That Mall is sick and that Store is dead!
