Sears is only one of four that are still in operation; however, it looks like a store that is about to shutter its doors. Dick's Sporting Goods is moving in where Nordstroms was. Lord and Taylor are still empty, as is California Pizzeria. That flummoxed me, California Pizzeria. No clue why it closed. Always packed. Reasonable prices. Not bad food either. Perhaps a victim of COVID-19? I don't remember, but I remember it was good for my daughters. Davio's was palace my bride and would go every other month. Or we'd meet my daughters there when they were home from college. Why'd they close? Always busy. No place to get a cup of coffee... even the Starbucks left. SSP has changed in many ways, and not for the better.

Madame Chervilo in the Braintree Mall is such a sweet little treat spot. The Dubai chocolate cups…read moreare super rich and so yummy. A small cup can easily be shared with three people because the flavor is that decadent. The candy bars are also amazing and you can tell they are made with care. I will say the medium bar has gotten a bit smaller since they first opened, but it is still delicious all the same. I was really excited to see that they now sell the pistachio cream to take home. That was a pleasant surprise and I will definitely be going back to buy a jar to keep at home. A great stop if you want something rich, unique, and worth the calories.

Late in the evening, there was plenty of parking. The plaza is anchored by the Shaw's grocery store but there is also a Marshalls here among others. Two major entrances, one of which has a traffic light. You could also sneak out by the fast food place or out the back past Shaw's. It is a short walk to the T station but don't be tempted to park here for the T. They have signs posted that you'll be towed.

I like this plaza but parking is always a nightmare. There is not enough parking to accommodate the…read moretraffic, spots are too close together and the layout is poor. The good things are you can walk between Shaw's, Michaels and Marshall's, so you get a lot of variety. Definitely don't go here in a rush though because you have to circle around and wait for parking.

One of the stores you will find here is a Burlington Coat Factory which is a great department store to shop in and there is also a liquor store here as well. There is also a cosmetology school in the strip mall and if you are a gym goer there is also a gym. If you are looking to eat in a restaurant there is an IHOP location here to dine in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Off to the side there is a Montilio's bakery with plenty of goodies for sale. You'll find pretty reasonable prices as far as the shopping and dining goes at this shopping center. The parking spots are very numerous here with all of the parking spaces clearly marked. The parking lot is very clean and well maintained. So whoever cleans this parking lot is doing their job well. It is always a pleasure to visit this shopping center.

A stroll around the large parking lot is a good way to see what stores are here and browse in each for something to purchase and bring home. The Whole Foods Market is definitely a huge treat for me to walk around then hit it last to find something to cook or snack or enjoy their most tastefully and expertly decorated baked items along with lots of breads to choose from. So Derby Street Shops is like a one stop shopping place. I like that and go home with everything I needed and wanted.

Decent little plaza in Quincy. Granite Place sits on a good…read moresized parcel of land in between three major roads in the busy city of Quincy, Granite Street, Hannon Parkway, and Burgin Parkway. The plaza has a large parking lot (especially for being in such a city-like area, where I would assume there would be extremely limited amounts of parking), and has a decent variety of stores. It never seems to be overwhelmingly busy, is easy to get in and out of, and even has an adorable, tiny Dunkin Donuts drive thru in the parking lot (might be 20 sq ft in size.... if that). While it did lose Party City recently (which opened in a different spot), it gained Dollar Tree, which is a one hundred percent benefit in my opinion! Some of the storefronts throughout this shopping center include Olympia Sports, Dollar Tree, TJ Maxx, Papa Gino's, DressBarn, Boston Market, and Burger King. For Quincy residents, this area is thriving since the city is large and throughout this is one of the largest shopping centers around. Decent spot to shop in the Quincy area, and convenient being near two grocery stores, Lowe's, Home Depot, BJ's and other retailers. Pharmacy across the street too. May not be the newest or nicest, but the setup works for the shape of this site. Access points are on Hannon Parkway and Granite Street. 4 stars for Granite Place.

I mostly come here to check out new shoe inventory, usually HOKA, Brooks, and OnClouds that they have at discounted prices. For clothing, they have a decent selection: Free People, Madewell, ASTR the label, ALLSAINTS, Naked Wardrobe, Rag & Bone, Good American, Frame jeans, Paige jeans, and Joe's to name a few. Definitely some good finds can be found here & they run extra sales all the time!

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.
