The Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing is facing more challenges as three additional stores prepare to shut their doors. These closures came just days after Macy’s confirmed its anchor store at the mall will remain open, despite the chain closing over 60 locations nationwide. The recent developments have fueled ongoing concerns about the mall’s long-term viability.
Here’s a look at the latest stores set to close:
Level Up Entertainment
Level Up Entertainment, known for its comic books, vintage video games, collectibles and toys, announced it will close on Jan. 26. The store shared its gratitude to customers in a heartfelt social media post: “Words alone cannot convey the sense of gratitude and love we have for every person we’ve had the pleasure of meeting since we opened.”
Norman’s Hallmark
Located on the lower level near Macy’s, Norman’s Hallmark closed on Sunday, Jan. 19. Last year, the retailer opened a new location in Somers Point.
PacSun
On the mall’s second floor, PacSun is also preparing to close. The store is holding a clearance sale, but fitting rooms are unavailable, and all sales are final.
The closures mark another setback for the Hamilton Mall, which continues to navigate the challenges facing brick-and-mortar retail and especially malls, nationwide.
