The Coolest Place To Shop In Rhode Island, Warwick Mall Is A Throwback To Yesteryear

Those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s know that Friday and Saturday nights meant one thing - going to the mall to hang out with friends, splitting pizza or fries, and weaving in and out of stores as we dreamed of the things we'd buy one day. The coolest place to shop in Rhode Island, Warwick Mall is a throwback to yesteryear. While it boasts all of the modern amenities you'd expect from a shopping mall, it also has that old-school vibe. When you're craving a bit of yesteryear, head here.

Warwick Mall has been the prime shopping destination in the area since it opened in 1970.

Even with the advent of the internet, which makes shopping a breeze, shoppers still seek out that old-fashioned hands-on experience every now and then.

Boasting nearly 900,000 square feet of space, Warwick Mall has a TON to offer - from shopping to dining and entertainment.

Don't be too surprised if you're overcome with nostalgia, too, especially when you see the carousel.

The mall is home to more than 80 vendors. Once you're done shopping, you still have so much more to do, too. How about checking out the latest blockbuster at the theater?

A stop to the food court is always a must when visiting an old-school shopping mall.

Craving a burger, fries, and a milkshake? (Plant-based options available, too!) Slip onto a stool at Johnny Rocket's.

Keep an eye on the mall's website, too, for special events throughout the year.

Make it a point to visit during the holidays for that extra touch of magic. Santa visits during the Christmas season while the Easter Bun hops on over in the spring.

Find days, hours, and more information on the Warwick Mall website. Or, stop by its Facebook page.
