This plaza first opened with a JM Fields store and a JM Fields food store, most likely Pantry Pride. The two stores closed in 1979 and Bradlees opened at that location in 1982 also opening a Bradlees Food store in the old JM Fields Food in 1983. The food store closed and JC Penney moved in. That store eventually moved again, this time to the Steeplegate Mall in August 1990. That void never was filled.

In summer 1991 though, it became a temporary L.L.Bean store. The section where Market Basket is was built in 1983. Walgreens opened in that building but closed in 1995. Market Basket expanded using some of the former Walgreens space. The rest has been used by Dollar Tree.

Bradlees went out of business in December 2000. By January 2001, store #869 in Concord was history. The 111,755 sq.-ft store stayed vacant for a while until it was torn down in April 2006. A 170,000 sq.ft. Lowe’s opened on that site in 2006.
