On October 15th, 2018, Sears filed for Chapter 11 and announced the closure of 142  stores (79 Sears) including Newington's Sears location. As of late December 2018, the store closing sale is well under way with several parts of the store already empty. The store should closed for good mid-January 2019. On November 1st 2019, Olympia Sports announced the closing of 76 stores including the Fox Run Mall location. In November 2022, the former 127,000 sq.ft. Sears property was sold for $11.5 million. 

In 2023, Torrington Properties eventually purchased the mall. (It had already acquired the adjacent Newington Park shopping center in 2021) In February 2025, JCPenney announced the closing of a couple of stores including the Newington location. 

Torrington acquired the JCPenney lot which will gives them full control on the property. They have plans to redevelop the property into a modern concept away from the glory days of enclosed shopping malls. In August 2025, it was announced that the mall would be razed. The demolition could begin in February 2026. The half billion-dollar project is slated to include a big box store, smaller stores, and restaurants and should be entirely commercial/retail based. No residential is proposed on site. Claire's is already holding a store closing sale.
