Outlets by the river, corner shops on the squares

Assembly Row, built where a car assembly plant once stood by the Mystic River, has outlet stores, clothing and beauty shops, restaurants and a cinema, and the Assembly Square Marketplace next door has big-box stores. The work is sales floor, stock, cashier and fitting room shifts, with the Orange Line stopping at Assembly.

Twin City Plaza, on McGrath Highway at the Cambridge line, has a supermarket and discount stores, where the work is cashiers, stocking and the deli and produce counters. In Davis Square, Union Square and Teele Square the shops are smaller and mostly independent, and many of them are markets and specialty food stores.
