Shopping Malls in New Jersey have played a major role in shaping the suburban landscape of the state following World War II.

History

New Jersey, the most densely populated state in the nation, and in the suburban sphere of influence of both New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has a comparatively large number of notable malls in the state. Paramus, in Bergen County, is one of the largest shopping meccas in the country, with its four major shopping malls accounting for a significant proportion of the over $5 billion in annual retail sales generated in the borough, more than any other ZIP Code in the United States[1].

Cherry Hill Mall, was the first large indoor shopping center on the East Coast of the United States and attracted busloads of visitors soon after its opening in October 1961. (The Southdale Shopping Center in Edina, MN, was the very first enclosed mall, beating Cherry Hill to the honor by five years). The popularity of the mall as a destination was one of the factors that led the mall's location to change its name from Delaware Township, to its current name of Cherry Hill Township.
