While the Acton Plaza has been around for years, it has been a significant time since is has been remodeled, and now it's attractive, well designed and has a ton of curb appeal. It doesn't have the BEST stores, but has two sides of shopping, one on Main Street and one section on Massachusetts Avenue, connected by Community Lane. It has lost a few stores over the years, but has also gained a few. Currently the front end of the shopping center (Mass Ave) side has more of the big-box / chain stores: - Roche Bros - TJ Maxx / HomeGoods - Johnny Rockets - Paper Store - Radio Shack - Unleashed by Petco and the back end of the shopping center (Main Street) side has more of the independent / small stores / restaurants : - Acton Wine & Spirits - Not Your Average Joe's - TC Lando's - SuperCuts - Sleepy's (ok they are not all independent) - Dunkin Donuts and a few other shops. Convenient place to shop in Acton, and one of the main retail sectors of the large town in Metrowest. Perfect stop off the highway to be able to get right back on! 4 stars for the Acton Plaza.

It depends upon which specific location you visit that determines the awesomeness. Now, when TJ Maxx and HomeGoods are combined, into a larger space, normally, it creates awesomeness. And here, it was a success and is to this day a success! Huge store and tons and tons of inventory. I don't know if any of the other thousand stores like this I have been to have had so much specialty foods or decorative Christmas supplies. Either a boatload got shipped here, or people just have been shopping everywhere else. Either way, they had tons of great deals throughout and I was able to check off SEVEN gifts for the holidays with decorated candy canes filled with OREO's in the specialty food aisle, and even a few others with lots of small, compact gifts. Christmas decor section was overstocked (as said before), and even the men's clothing section was full too. I came a week before Christmas, and not only was this place FULL of bargains, it was packed busy, organized AND clean! How is this even possible? Line was long (or so I thought), but took less than five minutes to get through with all ten registers alive and kicking. Great service for such a busy place. Acton isn't very close to any huge malls or department stores. TJ Maxx provides a wonderful place for residents of the area to go if they need something quick and decent without going to Natick. 5 stars.

Wayside Country Store has a great selection of Linda Lou sink strainers, my mother was searching for a few designs she didn't own yet and we found them on Wayside Country Store's website. We placed an order for four different strainers (hummingbird, kitty, fishy & butterfly) but due to a storm and outage the store was unable to process the order. I gave them a call and they happily processed my order over the phone. They were extremely apologetic and friendly. Once the shipment arrived we found that we had received two kitty strainers and no fishy strainer. I emailed their customer service and they immediately offered a replacement or credit. We asked for a replacement stating we'd be happy to pay for it (just hoping maybe Wayside could cover shipping) however they shipped out a replacement to us at no cost. We will be ordering again!

With 3 kiddos in the tween age group, this is a convenient option for them to spend their allowance without having to drive 30 minutes away. The problem is that the store staff is pretty unwelcoming towards kids. We've been a pretty good customer over the course of many visits. The treatment has been pretty hit or miss from dirty looks thrown at the kids for picking up items they intend to buy to feeling like we are mildly tolerated at best. This store seems to prefer the young adult demographic.
