bergen town center

​Bergen Town Mall is a retail center that can be found in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States of America. It was initially known as The Outlets at Bergen Town Center. The shopping complex is approximately 105 acres and is located inside the towns of Paramus and Maywood. It has an indoor shopping mall in addition to retailers located in surrounding areas.

When it first opened in 1957, the shopping center was known as the Bergen Mall. It was the biggest of its type at the time, and it was one of many regional large-scale outdoor retail malls that were being rolled out around the country at the time. As a result, it is the second-oldest shopping center in New Jersey. The shopping center's gross leasable area (GLA) is 917,129 square feet (85,204.1 m2). 

The retail center can be found near Route 4 and Forest Avenue. It has a distinct shopping district situated to the south of Route 4, and it is linked to the rest of the property utilizing a pedestrian bridge. The mall has, throughout the years, housed a variety of communal facilities, such as a church, theater for live plays, post office, auditorium, ice rink, bowling alley, and a children's amusement ride section. 

Additionally, the mall is the present site of the Bergen County Museum. John Graham, a New York City architect, was the brains behind the design of the Bergen Mall. Because of the blue laws that are in effect in Bergen County, the shopping center is required to be closed on Sundays, except for some restaurants and other businesses that do not sell apparel.
