Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox shopping mall
The Cherry Hill Mall, owned by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), was originally known as Cherry Hill Shopping Center, commonly reported as the first indoor, climate-controlled shopping center east of the Mississippi River in the United States, and opened on October 11, 1961. Cherry Hill Mall is located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, within the unincorporated namesake neighborhood and census-designated place (CDP) of Cherry Hill Mall, New Jersey. The mall is bounded by Route 38, Haddonfield Road (County Route 644), Church Road (County Route 616), and Cherry Hill Mall Drive.
The center was designed by architect Victor Gruen and built and managed by The Rouse Company. Rouse sold its shopping center portfolio to PREIT in 2003 as PREIT converted its holdings from residential to retail. The mall has a gross leasable area of Шаблон:Convert,[1] placing it in the top ten among the largest shopping malls in New Jersey. The mall is currently anchored by JCPenney, Macy's, and Nordstrom.
The farm that was near the site of the Cherry Hill Mall is widely held to be the source of the 1962 renaming of what had been called Delaware Township to its current name of Cherry Hill Township. The town was named Cherry Hill in a voter referendum due to the development of a new U.S. Postal Service office for the region, and historical ties to Cherry Hill Farm, which once occupied land opposite the current mall site, and various locations named for the farm, including the Cherry Hill Estates housing development and the Cherry Hill Inn.[2]
History
The Cherry Hill Mall opened on October 11, 1961 on the former site of the Шаблон:Convert George Jaus farm.[3] It was designed by Victor Gruen and built and managed by The Rouse Company[4] at a cost of $30 million (equivalent to $Шаблон:Inflation million in Шаблон:Inflation/year).[5] Upon opening, it was the largest mall in the nation and is commonly referred to as the first enclosed and climate-controlled mall in the Eastern United States.[3][6][7] The mall featured 90 stores, exotic birds, tropical plants, fountains and a movie theater.[6]
The mall layout was unique for the time. Unlike the dumbbell malls of the time, the mall started from the east anchor, Bamberger's, with a large "Delaware Mall" concourse to the west of it. About halfway along this concourse was an exit way that led back to a twin movie theatre and a children's amusement park with six rides and a mini roller coaster with a giant arcade. The center of the mall featured Cherry Court, a court with high ceilings, more tropical plants, fountains, parrots, plus a staircase leading directly to the second floor into Strawbridge & Clothier. The northern wing featured the "Market Court", Food Fair, and Thrift Drug. There were also a Kresge's, Woolworth's, and two liquor stores.[8]
The mall changed through the years; 1973 brought a detached nine-story office tower. In 1977 a new two-story wing was built in the north part of the mall, following the closure and demolition of Pantry Pride and the Market Court. This wing was anchored by JCPenney. The 1990s brought more change to the mall, with the mall being remodeled once more, featuring a teal/gray color scheme and skylights. The mall received different fountains and the ornate Strawbridge's staircase was replaced with a simple escalator/stairs combination. By 1997, two distinct parts of the mall had formed: an upscale wing near Macy's featuring Banana Republic and Victoria's Secret, while the JCPenney wing featured General Nutrition Centers and several urban shops. In 2003, the mall was sold to Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT).[9]
PREIT renovation and expansion
Under PREIT's ownership, Old Navy moved in early on, but the company had bigger plans for the mall. From the period of 2007 to 2009, the mall underwent a massive $220 million renovation that saw Шаблон:Convert of new retail added.[10] Jim Ryan and his team at JPRA Architects were brought in to create the mall’s new design.[9] Following Strawbridge's closure after the Macy's takeover, the store was razed and backfilled[11] to make way for the new Grand Court featuring Шаблон:Convert of new retail, along with a new 138,000 sq ft. Nordstrom anchor store which opened on March 27, 2009.[7] Шаблон:Cn span
In December 2022, the Cherry Hill Police Department banned shoppers under the age of eighteen from entering the Cherry Hill Mall unaccompanied between the hours of 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. during the last week of December; this was in response to a series of fights that occurred at the mall five years earlier.[12]

"'As sentiment for a post office grew along with the population, township officials realized that it could not have a post office with Delaware Township in the name because a Delaware Township post office already existed in North Jersey,' Mangiafico and Mathis wrote. Residents suggested 'Moriville' as the new name for the township in honor of Mori, but Abraham Browning’s farm near the Cherry Hill Inn and Cherry Hill Estates had increasing appeal in the neighborhood. His farm, Mangiafico said, had Cherry trees, which inspired the name of the neighborhood.... The 15-acre mall, located on the former George Jaus farm, had opened just weeks before the official name change, already bearing the new name."
