Rochester Crossing

Rochester Crossing operates as a power center in Rochester, New Hampshire, just off Exit 13 of the Spaulding Turnpike (Route 16) at Route 202, within New Hampshire’s tax-free Seacoast region. The center’s catchment extends beyond Rochester itself to Somersworth, Farmington and Milton in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, and east across the state line to Sanford and the “Berwicks,” North Berwick, South Berwick and Berwick, in Maine.

Kohl’s and Lowe’s anchor the property as its two largest tenants, with JoAnn Fabric and PetSmart carrying home and pet retail, and Buffalo Wild Wings and IHOP anchoring the food and beverage tier. Aspen Dental and Maurices round out the smaller tenant base.

The property functions as a convenient stop for travelers heading to and from New Hampshire’s northern tourist attractions, the Lakes Region, the White Mountains and area ski resorts, given its direct connection to I-95 in Portsmouth via the Spaulding Turnpike corridor. The center notably lacks a grocery store or movie theater among its current tenant mix.

That highway-junction, traveler-and-regional-catchment positioning, serving both local Rochester-area shoppers and travelers passing through en route to New Hampshire’s mountain and lake destinations, reflects a common power-center strategy along New England’s tax-free New Hampshire corridors: capturing cross-border Massachusetts and Maine shoppers alongside seasonal tourist traffic rather than relying purely on a single local trade area.
