Fine plaza in Braintree. Some decisions the plaza have made…read moreI don't agree with, like the weird, weird, entrance, and having only one exit that is impossible to avoid a huge traffic backup on ANY day, but overall it's getting better. First, this plaza used to have a Borders Books, which I really liked, and wished stayed, but that company went out of business, which wasn't the choice of Atlantic Retail, who owns the "Marketplace @ Braintree". Guitar Center isn't really my thing, but I guess it was an ok place to put in the former Borders. Next door to Guitar Center, they have recently added a Five Below (maybe 2-3 years ago). Five Below is probably my favorite store in the plaza, technology, candy, gift supplies, arts & crafts, sports equipment, games, and other great stuff, for all under $5. Next, in the actual plaza there is a Petsmart, Sports Authority, Kmart- which is closing in January, to become a Nordstrom Rack & Saks 5th Ave (good move by Atlantic Retail, that dirty old Kmart needed a lift), ULTA Beauty, Bed Bath & Beyond, Babies R Us, Staples, GameStop, and Best Buy. All of these stores are all fine for the most part, just old, and not as clean or large as other locations in the area (such as BB&B, Best Buy, Petsmart). But overall, the Braintree Marketplace has a lot of good stores and has made this plaza a destination to go to in Braintree. I'm looking forward to Saks 5th Ave & Nordstrom Rack to open (as well as a restaurant). Located off Route 3 (Take Exit 17 for Union Street) on Grossman Drive. 4 stars.

Useful, small plaza on Route 138 in Easton…read more Includes a grocery store, pharmacy, discount store, shipping retailer, nails place, a vision center, and a few more small, independent retailers. Roche Brothers, Dollar Tree, CVS/Pharmacy, UPS Store, Nails, Kozol Vision Center, and others. Also includes AT&T and Dunkin Donuts in another part of the strip mall, and if you can figure out how the drive thru works for that Dunkin Donuts, you've either lived in the area or are genius...... so annoying to drive around the lot twice! 4 stars.

Includes: Roche Bros (for food), Twist Bakery (for treats), CVS/Pharmacy (for medication and other essential products), Hallmark store (for cards and other (mostly) useless items), Postal Center USA (for shipping), KiwiBurst (for frozen yogurt), Peony Nails (for your nails), Louies Pizzeria (for pizza), a liquor store, EyeWorks (for glasses), and other small shops throughout the plaza. Convenient, non crowded, and quick, with good parking.

Dedham Plaza is good enough. Doesn't have nearly…read moreeverything, yet some good finds. Some of the good destinations of this plaza are -- Tuesday Morning -- Hallmark -- Planet Fittness -- Star Market -- Domino's -- Men's Wearhouse -- Payless and at least 10 more shops. Everything else you need is somewhere around this section of the highway. This specific plaza I use mostly as a cut through to get onto the highway or cut over towards Best Buy, since it's so much faster without dealing with the highway traffic. Either the Dedham Mall or Legacy Place has mostly every other shop you would need.... the rest of the average chain retail stores are here, in this two sided plaza (one side Providence Highway and one side Washington Street). Lots of parking and the many stop signs and crosswalks throughout the parking lot help keep people going slow and cautious. Average plaza.... nothing really all that great to drive out of your way for though. 3 stars.

This shopping center is on the newer side and is located right off Route 3A in Hingham near the…read moreWeymouth town line. The shopping center includes many other places surrounding the complex including a Marshalls, Stop&Shop, 99 Restaurant and many other spots, making this area a good destination. There is also Lowe's, Michaels, and Staples right down the road too. This shopping center includes more of the "higher end" type places, but also regular national retailers. It's honestly a good combination that can be attractive to all shoppers. Talbots, CVS, Old Navy, Ulta, and Bed Bath & Beyond just to name a few. Many restaurants surround the complex including Wahlburger's, AlmaNove, Panera, Menchie's (my personal favorite), BeerWorks and more. Two grocery stores, Trader Joe's and The Fresh Market are also both inside the complex. A movie theatre, Patriot Cinema 6 is also inside the complex. Not the most options around; however, a good assortment of places to go. Overall, I'd definitely come back here, it would just be better if all the places to shop in Hingham were closer together for convenience (Derby Street and here); however, I guess I shouldn't complain since that could cause traffic nightmares. Overall, it's nice and deserves a sold 3 stars.

Good little shopping plaza on Route 109 in Milford…read more Includes one big department store and a bunch of small stores and eateries. Never crowded. Only complaint (-1 star) for exit. SUPER dangerous turning left on 109 at one exit and the other has a no left turn sign!!!! Put a traffic light here!!! Some of Milford Plaza's finds are: -- Kohl's -- Town Fair Tire -- Sally Beauty Supply -- Panera Bread -- Papa Gino's -- Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft -- Radio Shack (closing next month though!) -- Applebee's and more. UPDATE : Early 2017 Recent renovations to the entire aesthetics of this building are great. They have completely renovated the look of all the storefronts (thank goodness.... they hadn't previously done any work since the 70's!). Parking lot has been completely re paved (also used to be bumps EVERYWHERE) and the layout of the lot is new and much more efficient. Good progress. Nice to see Milford getting better and more decent retail centers.

Pick your poison, you can do you food shopping, shop for clothing (Marshall's, office supplies (Staples) along with plenty of other choices. Need a bite after all that shopping, grab a quick bite at Subway, or sit down at Ruby Tuesday and relax for a bit.

I have not yet visited the new Mandarin which is located where the Boston Market used to be, but the pictures I've seen show that they have done quite a nice job renovating the space. Still a good shopping plaza.
