EspañolCHERRY HILL MALL (SHOPPING MALL)
'Cherry Hill Mall', owned by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, was the first large indoor shopping center east of the Mississippi River in the United States, attracting busloads of visitors soon after its opening in October 1961. (The Southdale Shopping Center in Edina, Minnesota, was the very first enclosed mall in the U.S., beating Cherry Hill to the honor by five years.) The current anchors of the mall are JC Penney, Macy's, and Nordstrom (opening 2009). The mall has a gross leasable area of .[1] placing it in the top ten among the largest shopping malls in New Jersey.
The Mall is widely held to be the source of the 1961 renaming of what had been called Delaware Township to its current name of Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey. In fact, the town was named Cherry Hill because the town wanted its own ZIP Code, and the United States Postal Service suggested this name because of its historical ties. Also, a local developer, Eugene Mori, had a vested interest in the name identifying with his properties, which had taken the name Cherry Hill to identify that they were built on or near the old Cherry Hill farm, on a hill at the intersection of what is now Route 38 and Haddonfield Road.
The Cherry Hill Mall made a public press release that the entire mall will be redeveloped. Nordstrom will build a new department store where the now-closed Strawbridge's Department Store now stands, which was . The existing store will be demolished to make way for a new wing of the mall including the Nordstrom store occupying with an additional of retail space. There are also plans to spruce up the side of the mall facing Route 38, by creating a "bistro row" lined with restaurants and different cafes occupying about of space[2]. In addition to that, there are plans to build to stores not connected to the mall in the parking lot along Route 38 and Haddonfield Road. The stores that are planned are Crate & Barrel and The Container Store. To make up for the lost parking due to the expansion of the mall, there are plans to build a parking garage next to the new Mall wing facing to Haddonfield Road[3].
