About South Shore Plaza
Welcome to South Shore Plaza, a spacious, semi-anchored mega shopping destination in Braintree, Massachusetts. Known for its vast footprint of roughly 1.6 million square feet of gross leasable area, this super-regional mall is widely recognized as New England’s largest mall by size. While the Nordstrom Wing opened in 2010 and recently transitioned in 2025, the mall continues to evolve with new tenants and experiences. Whether you’re here for a full day of shopping, a quick visit between errands, or an event-filled outing, we’ve got you covered with practical details, transit options, parking guidance, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you secure your plans with ease.
South Shore Plaza sits at 250 Granite Street, Braintree, MA 02184, right off I-93 Exit 6. Free on-site parking with multiple entrances makes getting in and out straightforward. Transit access includes MBTA bus routes 236 and 238, offering convenient options for riders. While there isn’t a single seating chart for a park-style mall, Simon Property Group provides an Interactive Map to help you orient yourself across the property. Filming for the 2008 movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop happened here, adding a bit of pop culture history to your visit. For accommodations and meals nearby, we’ve highlighted trusted hotel partners and favorite local dining spots to help you plan a comfortable stay near your South Shore Plaza adventure.
