Braintree Kmart Closing Down

Braintree’s Kmart will soon close their doors, but it won’t be vacant for long.

Open since 1996, the big box discount store off of Route 3 recently announced that they will no longer have a store in Braintree, but a replacement has been found.

Mayor Joseph Sullivan told the Patriot Ledger that a Nordstrom Rack and a Sack’s Fifth Avenue outlet are planning to take over the space. About 4,000 square feet will remain vacant, with a restaurant targeted to fill out the building, according to Sullivan.

Recently, the planning board approved a plan to split up the building.
