Thursday, May 1, 2025: In 1963, a few years after Cherry Hill Mall opened about three miles away, a new mall opened: Moorestown Mall, 400 New Jersey Route 38, Moorestown (Burlington County), NJ (856-231-4444). This mall always reminded me of a smaller version of Cherry Hill Mall, but in these last few decades, Moorestown Mall has had more ups and downs. Currently, it has been going up, but it needed more tenants to get back to its former glory between 1963 and into the 1990s. In late 1992, the mall had a fire and had to be renovated, but even then, it did get plenty of tenants. Then in the early decades of the 21st century, this mall started to decline, just like many other malls in the USA. Of course, in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic didn’t help either. Nevertheless, this mall, on the date above, contained about 90 Stores, including a food court, a cinema, and a medical center. Inside, it looked like a typical mall with title floors, fountains, a bit of greenery here and there, and the usual mall stores that have been similar to other malls. If you are in the area, it is worthwhile to take a look. As for me, I’m glad to see one of the few shopping malls making a comeback!
