Pearl Plaza

This is a convenient, small, plaza, close to Braintree center. It has some good qualities and some annoying qualities.
First, for the area, it’s consistently SUPER busy, and congested. Finding parking can take up to 15 minutes on weekends. There are a few good stores, but not much to «wow» a shopper. Really? The Post Office is in this plaza. That should be in Braintree center. And Game Stop? This GameStop isn’t even needed in Braintree! There are 3 others throughout the town, therefore, this location should just close! Plaster Fun Time is ok. Michaels (former OfficeMax, I used to go to…) is average, yet un-​comparable to any of the other Michaels in the area. Shaw’s is a convenient supermarket for the area, and not half-​bad, but Stop&Shop on Grove St is still better. The only «WOW» factor of the plaza, and the saving grace is Marshalls. The Pearl Plaza Marshalls is large, spacious and not nearly as congested. There is also a Wine&Liquor store, Sleepy’s, Gentle Dental and a few other small shops.
Across the street is useless Ivory Plaza, where all you could accomplish is car type things (AutoZone & Sullivan Tire), and have lunch (Chili’s). This plaza has convenient access to the others if you want a restaurant or car stores, as well as convenient access to the Burger King plaza next door (yet be careful, another place that’s crowded). Overall, ok plaza, I wish they would add more good stuff and get rid of all the stuff it really could go without (and take care of parking!). 3 stars.
