Yarmouth Crossing — Local services in Yarmouth

This is a shopping strip where all stores have their own hours, and are accessed by their own outside doors. It is anchored by a Shaws grocery store (with the best fresh seafood and produce...I shop here), there's a free standing Citizens bank that also has a drive thru. The other anchor is Ocean State Job Lot...they carry a little of everything ! There is also a huge Registry of Motor Vehicles, a large Auto supply store, a gift/jewelry place, a laundromat, a breakfast/lunch restaurant, a GREAT real old fashioned barbershop, and one of my favorites...the VNA Thrift Shop.

Great lanes, good food, fair pricing. It's a...

So I drove behind the strip mall where none of the rear doors are marked, and saw 3 dumpsters - also not marked. A rather large backhoe was also pretty busy tearing up the pavement. I left with the coats, and donated them to the Salvation Army on...

First time in this plaza and it was not bad. I came just for the RMV but It had some good stores there. Like a one-stop plaza. RMV, food, a bank, a liquor store, a hardware store, and an Ocean State job lot. The parking was kind of crazy crowded and there was construction going on and some of the entrances and exits were blocked. That made it difficult for someone like me who had never been there before. All in all it was a nice plaza. Would go back if...
