Kings Department Store closed in November-December 1982 after filing for bankruptcy. IGA later followed Kings and closed in 1984. In 1985, DSM Reality (Owners of Market Basket) purchased the plaza. DSM later proposed to add a Kmart to the plaza, but the idea was later abandoned when the city wouldn't let them build it because of surrounding wetlands.
