Quaker Bridge Mall is a two-level super-regional mall located in the Clarksville section of Lawrence Township, New Jersey, on U.S. Route 1 near Interstate 295. The mall opened in 1975, and currently has over 120 retail establishments. Managed by Simon Property Group (which owns 50% of it), the mall's anchors include Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, and Lord & Taylor. It is also the location of the transmitter for the New Jersey-based radio station WKXW-FM, better known as New Jersey 101.5. The mall has a gross leasable area of 1,084,000 sq ft (100,700 m2), making it one of the largest shopping malls in New Jersey.
Quaker Bridge Mall opened in 1975 with four anchors: Bamberger's, Hahne's, JCPenney and Sears. The mall's existence helped to spur growth along the Route 1 corridor with the opening of additional shopping and strip centers, as well as the reconstruction of numerous intersections on Route 1 to accommodate the rising levels in traffic.
An AMC 4-screen cinema opened February 1977 at the back entrance, under Woolworth's. Department store changes took place in 1986 and 1990 when Bamberger's converted to Macy's and the closing of Hahne's allowed for the opening of Lord & Taylor. In 1988–89, the mall was heavily renovated. New flooring was added, new lighting was added, new seating areas added, the child's play area in the Sears wing was removed in favor of a planter and seating area, the majority of the fountains were removed, the mall received a paint job and the mall entrances facing Route 1 were redesigned. In the late 1990s, Woolworth's and the movie theater closed.
