History

The opening of the Burlington County Mall in 1982 on the formerly rural corridor along County Route 541, has been credited as the trigger of a development boom on the stretch between Burlington Township and Mount Holly Township. ["Boom Times Seeking Gold in the Route 541 Corridor", "The Philadelphia Inquirer" by Charlie Frush, November 19, 1986]

JCPenney opened a 103,000 square foot store in August 1996 as an addition to the existing Strawbridge's and Sears stores.

Strawbridge's, a long time anchor at the mall, was converted to a Macy's store as of September 9, 2006, as part of a plan by Macy's Inc to consolidate the several nameplates it operated.

Controversy

The mall was closed early on January 13, 2007, due to gang-related violence that may have involved 20 individuals connected with the Bloods and the Next Level Gang (considered a stepping stone to the Crips).
