New retail businesses coming to Swansea have begun opening and setting opening dates.
Gator Investments had previously announced that coming to Swansea Mall Center at 58-66 Swansea Mall Drive is Aldi Supermarket, Five Below, PetSmart, and Burlington.
FiveBelow, with current spots in Fall River, Dartmouth, and Raynham, is known as a retail chain where most of their items are below $5. They opened on August 28th.
Burlington is located in Fall River, Dartmouth, and Seekonk and offers a wide selection of brand-name clothing, home decor, and more at discount prices. They have announced that they are opening on October 2nd.
Aldi, with current locations in Fall River, Dartmouth, and Raynham, is known for its exclusive brands and their Twice as Nice Guarantee where for any reason if you are not 100% satisfied with the quality of any product, they will replace the product and refund your money. The Swansea spot is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2027 and could be ready as early as the fall.
PetSmart, with locations in Fall River, Swansea, and Raynham, is a retail chain and pet superstore focusing on pet products and services. The store is expected to move from Route 6 and be operational by the first quarter of 2027.
The locations have already begun hiring.
Chairman of the Swansea Planning Board Jonathan Carreiro stated earlier this year that the development also includes plans for two restaurants—one with approximately 110 seats and another with about 60 seats. These restaurants are not part of the initial phases of the project and are planned for a later stage of the development.
