Among shops are Marshalls, Modells, Skechers, The Children's Place, AT&T, PSEG, TD Bank, PriceRite and other shops and restaurants.[4][1] It includes the eight-screen cinema, the Fabian 8, on the upper level.[5] Hamilton and Ward is a restaurant located with the mall
The mall has struggled to retain tenants within the city with a population with limited buying power.[6]
Various proposals have been put forth to expand the mall[7] including a roof-top sports arena and underground parking using state credits.[8] The redevelopers of the mall have also proposed a hotel.
