About Us

 


 

The Ropewalk is a fun shopping experience. All six boutiques are connected by a common interior hall, which means that you do not have to be concerned about the weather, hot or cold, rain or shine. Every boutique offers different and unique goods; women’s apparel, infant & toddler wear, women’s shoes, gifts / wedding registry, toys and a New York styles Deli.

Make your shopping plans around lunch or diner (Th. & Fri.), and be prepared to be catered to!

We offer the latest and most fashionable products along with the most knowledgeable service. We all look forward to your visit.

History:
The Ropewalk is located at the former site of the Big 3 Hardware. Ted and Ida Walega founded the Big 3 in 1945 with real estate purchased from Ed Sylvia. Initially the building was approximately one third the size shown in the 1984 photo. That year the owners retired and Wayne Walega renovated the structure into a retail plaza. The mall opened in November 1984.

The Ropewalk name was selected in tribute to the town’s mariner heritage. In 1985 the building received the Plymouth County Renaissance Award for commercial rehabilitation. That same year the New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce also recognized the revitalization effort. And recently we celebrated our 20th anniversary.
