Willowbrook Mall, Wayne

Willowbrook Mall is a one-level shopping center with a partial second floor located in Wayne, New Jersey. It is near the intersection of New Jersey Route 23, U.S. Route 46, and Interstate 80 in the New York metropolitan area. The mall opened in 1969 and was expanded or renovated in 1970, 1988, 2006, and 2015. It has over 140 retail establishments and a leasable area of 1,518,006 square feet (141,027.4 m2) and is the fifth-largest shopping mall in New Jersey. The mall's anchor stores are Macy's, Dave & Buster's, Lord & Taylor (closing 2020), and Bloomingdale's. There is 1 vacant anchor store that was once Sears.

With blue laws in effect in neighboring Bergen County, and nearby shopping haven Paramus imposing even stricter Sunday-sales restrictions of its own, Willowbrook Mall has benefited from the spillover of shoppers on Sunday. The mall and its surrounding access roads and parking areas are prone to flooding in rainstorms. The Passaic River flows near the mall and one of its tributaries, the Pompton River, runs behind it.
