Square One Mall (formerly the New England Shopping Center) is a 115 store shopping mall located at the intersection of US Route 1 (Broadway) and Essex Street in Saugus, Massachusetts. [ cite web | title = Square One Mall Information | url = http://www.simon.com/mall/mall_info.aspx?ID=340|publisher="Simon Property Group"|accessdate=2008-01-30]

The mall was a $100 million project undertaken by New England Development Corporation to redevelop the former New England Shopping Center which consisted of Sears, Service Merchandise and the former General Cinemas which had closed in the mid-1980s.cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8290231.html|title=Drumroll begins for a big mall...|publisher="The Boston Globe"|date=1994-07-31|accessdate=2008-07-19] [ cite web | title = General Cinemas - Saugus, MA | url = http://cinematreasures.org/theater/19401/|publisher="Cinema Treasures"|accessdate=2008-07-19] The construction of the mall was unique since it incorporated the previously built structure of Sears, signs of this being the difference in building materials between Sears and the rest of the mall. The mall opened for business in Summer August 17 1994.

The mall is credited with bringing sprawl and strip development to Saugus, especially along the Route 1 corridor. Route 1 through the area is a 6 lane highway (3 lanes in each direction) with a speed limit of 50mph. The increased traffic from the mall and its exit/entrance ramps has led to increased traffic and car accidents along the Saugus stretch of the highway.Fact|date=January 2008

Bus Connections

"Along with a large parking lot, the MBTA services the Square One Mall with the following bus routes:"
*429 Northgate Shopping Center - Lynn Commuter Rail Station via Jefferson Ave & Square One Mall
*430 Saugus Center - Malden Station via Square One Mall

Future Service

There has been a question whether the MBTA should extend route 131 from its current route between Malden and Melrose to the Square One Mall. As of now Melrose residents can only access the mall by car or by taking a bus in the opposite direction to Malden Station and then transferring to route 430. The MBTA has not done anything to extend the route due to the fact that many rush hour commuters would be inconvenienced by this extension and there is a lack of resources to meet the MBTA's requirement of bus frequency, sixty minutes or better.
