The Manchester Mall at 811 Main Street Tuesday, March 10, 2020, in downtown Manchester. In the planning stage, Hatch and Farr said, is a Sunday flea market, where tables would be rented for $20 each.

In its heyday, the mall was stocked with major retailers. Mayfair Market, Gallenkamp Shoes, F.W. Woolworth and Gottschalks all called Manchester home after the mall opened in 1955.
