Holyoke Shopping Center

Welcome… to the Holyoke Shopping Plaza. A land of contrasts. A realm where Stop & Shop offers the kind of grocery salvation that makes you feel like an apex hunter with a rewards card. Where Paramount Pizza will absolutely destroy your sodium intake for the day and you will THANK THEM for it. Where Ocean State Job Lot exists in a parallel universe where time and pricing logic are irrelevant, and yet you emerge with Himalayan sea salt, a bag of socks, and a discount kayak paddle—and feel victorious. But oh… oh the POTHOLES. These aren’t potholes. These are geological phenomena. Abysses. Portals to the underworld. Every visit is a gamble: will my tires survive, or will I be filing an insurance claim while sobbing into a slice of greasy bliss from Paramount? There is no in-between. I keep coming back, of course. I must. The gravitational pull of this plaza is too strong. But if my alignment gets thrown off ONE MORE TIME, I swear I will come back again anyway. With vengeance. And maybe a slightly bigger car. Minus one star for the craters of death. Plus four stars for being my weird, chaotic, wonderful second home. Fix the asphalt, and I’ll give you five. Until then—bring a spare tire and your sense of adventure. Requiescat in pace to the ever eternal K-Mart, formerly of the Holyoke Shopping Center. May your blue light specials live on for eternity in the flickering parking lot light, if not only in my heart.

The shopping used to be real nice before about many store going out of the business but and especially I love when I go to stop & shop and ocean lot, rainbow store hoping new business come to town great business always thank you

One of the great surviving pool rooms / halls with 9FT tables that roll true .. I've been coming here since 1986 and will always have good things to say about Ivory Billiards
