the mall (inside) itself really is sad indeed. the last time I went in was a couple years back. i…read morewas curious so I cut through from kohls and did a quick stroll to barnes & noble and back. there were able 5 shoppers in my sight total. in there, i found a dollar store, payless shoes (or equivalent), a cheap jewelry/accessories store (like claire's), a tobacco/lottery/snacks type of corner stand, maybe a haircut or nail place, among a couple other random things. i did remember secretly rejoicing at the fact that the tobacco store stocks cigars, not that i ever went back to get any. i'm giving the place 4 stars not because of the above, but because i'm counting the "outer rim" businesses as part of the mall (they do situate on the premise), also the fact that the management does make an effort to revive the place despite current sadness: jo-ann fabric and petsmart opened this past year, texas roadhouse and "something" fitness joined in a couple years back, and a few more smaller establishments (a battery place, a froyo place) popped up as well. there are also small but helpful changes on the outer roadways made recently to ease/de-tangle mall traffic. numerous crosswalks were added around the lot. they also invited Santa over during the holiday season! i never saw him myself but couldn't help but see the gigantic signs hung around outside, even along route 1. so yeah, management does still care, and that's very commendable in the days and times we live in. the only "complaint" left to make, since ever, is really the fact that the mall/parking lot is not accessible to/from the mcdonald's side. meaning, one can only go in/out by coney street, or route 1 south (from north you'll have to wait at that intersection light, then turn into coney or make a u-ie). small inconvenience, but nothing one can really do about it. parking lot is huge enough to support the patronage though -- mostly to the few brand-name stores (kohls, b&n, old navy, bath & body works, office max, party city, gym, etc) and restaurants (chili's, panera, taco bell, five guys, panda express, texas roadhouse, etc) on the outer rim. the multiple entry/exit points along route 1 s really makes sense too. there was never a problem going in and out, even on weekends and black friday, no matter how long your stay is. overall, this mall is very beneficial to locals and has a reason to stay. i have lived around the area for years and this is my go-to place when a need pops up: from food, books, gifts, supplies, to quick/specific/holiday shopping, i can find it here. this is NOT the type of place one should be looking to make a whole-day family outing out of, nor is this the place to satisfies all needs (though it still kinda does, in smaller scale). for those needs, there are legacy/patriots/providence place(s) at your service. yeah the lack of foot traffic inside the mall is really depressing, but that's for the store owners to worry about, not consumers. i probably overlooked the little play area (with climb-y, crawl-y structures, coin-op cars/horsies) inside last time i was in there. in-laws recently took my child there and he had a blast! my kid was not being trampled to death by tens of other kids, and he could play as long as he wanted without the crowd or elevated noise level which one should come to expect on any playground at peak hours. fewer users also (hopefully) means, relatively cleaner structures. now who is to say there is no upside for a deserted mall? :)

This shopping center is on the newer side and is located right off Route 3A in Hingham near the…read moreWeymouth town line. The shopping center includes many other places surrounding the complex including a Marshalls, Stop&Shop, 99 Restaurant and many other spots, making this area a good destination. There is also Lowe's, Michaels, and Staples right down the road too. This shopping center includes more of the "higher end" type places, but also regular national retailers. It's honestly a good combination that can be attractive to all shoppers. Talbots, CVS, Old Navy, Ulta, and Bed Bath & Beyond just to name a few. Many restaurants surround the complex including Wahlburger's, AlmaNove, Panera, Menchie's (my personal favorite), BeerWorks and more. Two grocery stores, Trader Joe's and The Fresh Market are also both inside the complex. A movie theatre, Patriot Cinema 6 is also inside the complex. Not the most options around; however, a good assortment of places to go. Overall, I'd definitely come back here, it would just be better if all the places to shop in Hingham were closer together for convenience (Derby Street and here); however, I guess I shouldn't complain since that could cause traffic nightmares. Overall, it's nice and deserves a sold 3 stars.

A stroll around the large parking lot is a good way to see what stores are here and browse in each for something to purchase and bring home. The Whole Foods Market is definitely a huge treat for me to walk around then hit it last to find something to cook or snack or enjoy their most tastefully and expertly decorated baked items along with lots of breads to choose from. So Derby Street Shops is like a one stop shopping place. I like that and go home with everything I needed and wanted.

This place has all the major retailers, restaurants, and even AMC movie theater, so definitely a great place. No matter what you wanna do, you can accomplish it here you want to bargain shop at TJ Maxx easily done do you want to get some high-end perfume at Macy's? This place has got you covered. You're in the mood to cook a great dinner head over to the Stop & Shop also here, unlimited breadsticks God has your ticket no matter what you want. It is here. Just be careful trying to get into the lot and driving around a lot. You might hit a curb here in there as they just popping up everywhere. However, they have so many parking spots. You'll definitely get one, but you might be walking for a good hundred or 200 yards just to get to your location. This place is huge. With so many high-end retailers and restaurants, you would think that the parking lot would be better attended to seem to have an abundance of miscellaneous, dirty spots, and trash. Anyways, I'd still suggest that you come over here no matter what you wanna do you could spend the whole day here there is just too many places to go in too many things to do just come over and enjoy yourself.
