According to USA Today and Macy’s Inc. Bergen Town Center alongside Dolphin Mall, Potomac and Saw-grass Mills malls were chosen to have the first four “Bloomingdale Outlets”, they are supposed to be somewhat like Marshall’s and will have Bloomingdale’s clearance/salvage alongside exclusive merchandise, what i don’t get is where is it going to be? The former Steins is now Century 21, Filene’s and another store.

@William, the shporite closed in the late 1990’s and that little strip housed a radioshack and florest. the spa2 building closed around 2005 and that building used to be a Food Fair supermarker

I visited “the Berge” for the first time in over a year this weekend, and I was very impressed with all the renovations. The mall has a really sleek, clean look, but I think the architects did a good job incorporating some of its original modernist style in the new design: hanging pendant lamps, seating areas beneath wooden pergolas, a neat circular ceiling motif. While there was no fountain (aside from a small one inside the Whole Foods), there were two aquariums. And lots of customers. Some of the stores still seem like they might be temporary, but they’re better than vacancies. Overall, job well done!

Went to Bobby’s Burger Pallace over the weekend. The mall was somewhat quiet for a Saturday, but there was a line out the door at the restaurant. A burger + a soda is about $10 per person & sides are extra. The location is in the side of of what passes for a food court with the entrence outside.

Well the Bergen Town Center is not as 21st century as it tries to be =p.

The mall is not open-air format, and the renovation is complete. The mall looks amazing, and is much better than before. The new parking deck how-ever, is very creepy, and I would not want to be in it alone at night, or alone on one of the upper floors (3, 4, or 5).You should really go back to take pictures now that the renovation is complete, as it looks much different than the renderings.

@Dave W,
The village stores are gone, the chapel I think is located in the upstairs offices (The entrance to that is somewhere between Marchalls and Saks 5th Ave on the outside of the building).

P.S Is this post going to be updated with some after pics of the renovation?

In the 80’s Newberry’s rented space to a photographer in the lower level of the store. I gave the photographer the only picture I had of my father for a color touch up. When I went back to pick it up many months later he was gone.

Unfortunately Newberry’s was already starting to go out of business and when I asked the name of the photographer who had now since left, no one seemed to know or care who he was.

There was not internet at that time, so without help from someone who cared it was fruitless and I never did get an answer. After 20 years i’m still trying to find out who the photographer was and hopefully can get back the 8 X 10 picture of my dad in his police uniform.
