The Moorestown Mall is a shopping mall in Moorestown, New Jersey, owned by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust. Originally opened for business in 1963, Moorestown Mall underwent a partial renovation in 1986 and was completely renovated in 1993-94,〔(The Rouse Co. acquires Moorestown Mall )〕 after a serious fire damaged the northeast quarter of the mall on December 23, 1992. Prior to Rouse Co.'s purchase of the mall in December 1997, The May Co. had committed to build an upscale Lord & Taylor store, with a new Strawbridge's as anchors to the mall. In addition a Guess store joined the mall, as an upscale retailer. Nordstrom considered opening a store in South Jersey also, but they did not commit to the mall's expansion plans. In an attempt to protect the Cherry Hill Mall, a mere away, the Rouse Co. acquired the Moorestown Mall. Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust acquired the Cherry Hill Mall, Echelon Mall, Moorestown Mall, Exton Square, Plymouth Meeting Mall, and Gallery at Market East on March 7, 2003. In 2011, Moorestown residents voted to allow liquor sales at the Moorestown Mall in order to increase revenues at the mall. ==Redevelopment== The Moorestown Mall lies only away from the Cherry Hill Mall which recently underwent a major expansion to accommodate high end stores, but Moorestown is now undergoing a renovation of its own. As of late, the mall has accumulated a couple of minor, although noticeable vacancies. That is expected to change, however, when the side of the mall facing Route 38 is expected to get a more "Village"-like appearance due to the addition of Eastern Mountain Sports along the exterior. Also, Chipotle Mexican Grill has accompanied the new renovation. A larger redevelopment is expected to be announced sometime in the future. Activity on the northeast parking lot of the mall yielded a new Pei Wei Asian Diner, along with Potbelly Sandwich Works, opened in summer 2008. In 2011, Moorestown residents voted to allow liquor sales at the Moorestown Mall in order to increase revenues at the mall. As a result, PREIT is planning on purchasing four liquor licenses and planning on opening new restaurants at the mall. On December 22, 2011, PREIT and the Regal Entertainment Group announced their intent to build a new state-of-the-art 56,000 sq ft 12-screen theater known as ''Regal Moorestown Mall Stadium 12'', which will feature the new ''Regal Premium Experience'' (RPX). Scheduled to be open for the fall 2013 movie season,〔http://moorestown-mall.com/movie_listings〕 the theater will take over the current 7-screen United Artists Theaters present at the mall, while the adjacent skate park will be used as an expansion to the new theater which will more than double the size of the current theater.〔 Additionally, the theater will mark the first RPX theater in the market, which feature digital projectors, surround sound, 2D and RealD 3D, stadium seating with high-back rocking recliner seats, and Regal Express kiosks for automated ticket purchasing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moorestown Mall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
