PEABODY — Just in time for the holiday rush, Northshore Mall has a new entranceway to greet shoppers. 

The entrance is the latest project completed as part of the mall’s transformation by its corporate owner, Simon.

“We remain committed to reinvesting in Northshore Mall. This latest enhancement supports the evolution of the property and all that it has to offer as the premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination on the North Shore, said Mark Whiting, Northshore’s mall manager. “The new and modern entrance will enhance customer convenience, providing shoppers easy access to stores in the center of the mall, such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, XXI Forever, GAP, Finish Line, Michael Kors Lens Crafters, H&M, and more.”

The new entrance, located between Legal Sea Foods and Chipotle Mexican Grill will be adorned for the holidays with a 30-foot tall Christmas tree facing Route 114. 

 As part of the construction completion of the new entrance, comes the reopening of 179 parking spots between Legal Sea Foods and Macy’s, including four dedicated veteran’s spots and four expectant mother’s spots which will provide convenience and ease. 

Vehicular traffic will also resume between Legal Sea Foods and Macy’s.
