 The Centre at Salisbury attracted slightly more upscale establishments lacking at the Salisbury Mall, including amenities that were standard at most regional shopping malls such as a food court and a modern 10 screen multi-plex theater (later 16 screens).Previously, locals would have to travel to the Baltimore/Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, to outlet centers in nearby Delaware, or to elsewhere on the Eastern Shore for these amenities.Hecht's and Sears relocated to the new mall in November 1991 as their leases expired, leaving Peebles and Food Depot as the only remaining anchors.
