For Cinnaminson residents, present and future, the welcome redevelopment of the old Cinnaminson Mall is underway!
For those not aware, there is a ~$21 million plan in the works to redevelop the Cinnaminson Mall and to reconfigure the five-point intersection between Church Road, Branch Pike, Cinnaminson Ave. and Rt. 130. A 335,000-square foot shopping center is going to be built on the old site and the highway around it improved which is currently ranked in the top 20 worst intersections in New Jersey.
This great news for area residents as the Cinnaminson Mall has been vacant for years and an eye sore to passing motorists. For anyone who has tried to navigate that five-point intersection, it's almost as bad as trying to drive through one of New Jersey's famed Circles! All too often I've seen people going down the wrong way of the poorly marked one way street by the gas station, and people always struggle to merge coming from Branch Pike. Neighboring Delran has just completed similar projects along Rt. 130 as Target recently opened in the revitalized Millside Plaza along with the creation of Hartford Corners.
UPDATE 5/21/07 - The new shopping center will be called The Shoppes at Cinnaminson and is scheduled to open Spring 2008. Some of the stores currently in the plans include: Shop Rite, Ross, Starbucks, Famous Footwear, Hallmark, Wachovia & Bank of America.
Update 8/25/08 - Shop Rite is still on the list to open here. Burlington Coat Factory has been added as well. Starbucks has been replaced by Saxby's Coffee. Last I heard, they were hoping to get a Sonic also.
