Shoppers World is the name of a power center, located on Route 9, near the intersection of Route 30 and the Mass Pike (I-90) in Framingham, Massachusetts. Shoppers World opened on October 4, 1951, making it one of the earliest suburban shopping malls in the country. It was anchored by a huge domed Jordan Marsh store with vast parking lots and strips of other stores. The original Shoppers World was torn down in 1994, to be rebuilt as a modern upscale strip mall. The new Shoppers World, featuring 795,308 square feet (74,000 m²) of retail space, opened in 1996. Stores include Best Buy and Toys "R" Us.
