The Lewiston Bradlees was part of the Westbrook Plaza Shopping Center, which was a development project started by the Stop and Shop Company in the early 1960s. Instead of choosing to open with a Stop and Shop attached or a Bradlees Food section, the chain instead decided to lease out the other half of the building, which incidentally hosted a number of grocery stores throughout the plaza's lifetime. This location was announced to be closing on December 20, 1999 alongside the other 119 Bradlees locations still in operation. The Bradlees plot remained vacant for a few years before Kohl's came in and opened a store in 2004 as part of its rapid expansion during the early 00's, with a Shaws Supermarket being annexed next to the supermarket space.
