While there have been no official announcements on what stores will be coming to the plaza, reports say that definite plans could be revealed towards the end of the month.

The city of Fall River is working with CEA Group of Cambridge to add up to 30 new businesses, dining options, an updated parking lot, walkways, and a movie theater. The Kmart that currently exists at the eastern end of the current mall will remain in place and open.
