Nyanza

The end of war production caused Goodyear Fabrics to leave the Nyanza building. At that time various small businesses began renting space in the mill. This included the Nyanza Mill Outlet, which opened on November 13, 1958. The discount retail store prospered from the start, and one year later doubled its floor space, occupying the entire street floor. The Nyanza Mill closed in 1974 when the store moved to the Woonsocket Plaza.
