This is a great market area located in Lynnfield. Once you get by the challenge of finding a…read moreparking spot, everything else is gravy. All kinds of stores and restaurants. Some of the top winners for me first of all is the Apple Store. You also have Trader Joe's and Legals.. the yard house is also great. And you have kings for entertainment. I haven't even got started there so many stores. It's a little challenging in the winter with the snow, but it's still a great place to come always has a great atmosphere going on. Anyway good luck with the parking where you're purchasing food to take home and cook or hitting one of the restaurants for drinks. There's a great tequila place that I like in the marketplace. I'm sure you can fulfill any clothing, shoes, hair, dye, restaurant, entertainment, etc., etc. check it out great place.

Cute outdoor shopping and restaurant spot! There is a nice area in the middle with activities,…read moreseating, etc. (in the winter for example, they put in a little outdoor ice skating rink.) The shops are pretty good, but more of a targeted spot if you know where you want to go, otherwise good to just poke around as it has a variety. Restaurants are good too. There are quick/casual grabs and nicer/mid-upper sit downs. Plenty of parking, but have to know where to go. I recommend parking on the backside as the inside is a one-way, loop around with way less spots and more commotion.

We made a reservation to take pictures with Santa on Christmas Eve and had the absolute worse…read morecustomer service and experience. We made our reservation for 1:45pm and arrived around 1:20pm. The photographer Amanda asked us what time our appointment was and when we told her she barked back that we were late. Mind you there was another dad in line with his 6month old with a 1:45pm time slot as well. She took him and his pictures. When she returned she asked us again what time our appointment was and we told her 1:45pm she looked past us and asked the next 2 parties behind us their time and they where 1:30pm and 1:15pm. She took them without acknowledging our reservation. When she came back she told us they ran out of time and we couldn't take pictures. She could not explain why she skipped us when we were on time for our reservation. She said to take it up with corporate but would not give us any number or who to contact. She yelled at us and berated us for waiting until Christmas Eve to take pictures. We had 4 small children and the grandparents with us. The kids were crying after her interaction with us. She called security over and we explained the situation to the officer and they told us she would take our pictures when they returned from break. She made us wait over an hour after our reservation to take our pictures. We made sure we were first in line for our pictures and after returning from break she skipped us again and took another party in line behind us. We reminded her that was not what was discussed with security and that she said she would take our picture after they returned. By the time she took our picture the kids were tired and the baby was crying and not cooperating. It hard to not feel discriminated after our interaction with Amanda. She pulled People behind us who were not people of color and when watching her interaction she is not friendly at all. We get it's the holidays and it's busy but that's why we made our reservation and arrived on time because we respect peoples time. But to be mistreated with the children and grandparent with no explanation or apology feels very targeted. Amanda Gallagher the photographer was unprofessional, racist and a horribly incomplete person.

Man, I can't remember the last time I went to Square One Mall... it's definitely been a whileee!…read moreCame here to check out the Gatcha claw machine store and it was seriously like a blast from the past, walking through memory lane inside. Many parts of the mall looked like it was stuck in the early 2000s & it was sad to see how vacant this mall became. There's really not much left here, besides the large TJMaxx, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, & Macy's. All the stores looked very outdated, with the exception of the TJMaxx... that was the only store that seemed to have all the stuff you would normally find at other locations. Hopefully more stores are on their way & turn this mall around.

Bean. Other small high end shops include Talbots, Paper Source, West Elm, Loft, Jared, Ethan Allen, and others. A few restaurants are in the complex including Seasons 52, Potbelly Sandwiches, Capital Grille, and my personal favorite Not Your Average Joe's. They have plenty of seating throughout the complex and tables and sidewalks in the middle of the parking areas. Some of the parking lot roadways are narrow and confusing (as Anrana S. has noted, very accurately), but overall it's a nice area. The problem I have is that there are so few places that I actually need to go. In Burlington you have so many shopping centers and places to choose from, this shopping center just seems lackluster in decent options than many of the others. Okay. Nothing special considering the other options around. 3 stars.
