This plaza was originally anchored by Grants. The store became Kmart after the company acquired several locations following Grants' bankruptcy in 1976. For years the plaza was anchored by Kmart and Shaw's supermarket. In June 2017, Sears announced the closure of 49 Kmart stores including the Newburyport location, store #9147.  The store closed in September 2017. This Kmart store was relatively small at only about 50,800 sq. ft.
