Shopping at Coventry

Shopping at Coventry
By the 1970s, the Coventry business district was undergoing a drastic change. Service based businesses and shops catering to the community's immigrant populations began to close their doors, and were being replaced by boutique shops that specialized in novelty products. Many of these shops would find a very temporary home in the CoventrYard mini-mall. Between 1960 and 1975, the number of malls in America more than tripled.
