Paramus New Jersey – A Shopping Mall Paradise
Now that Thanksgiving is past, the annual holiday shopping season is in full swing. Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, and Christmas dominate the December holiday buying season but Kwanza is also a significant holiday this month. With all the parties, events and home entertaining that goes on in December it’s no wonder that this is a busy time of year.
Bergen County is famous for it’s concentration of shopping malls located on Route 17 and Route 4 in Paramus although one major mall is actually in Hackensack on the Paramus border. No matter where you live in Bergen County, you’re no more than a 10-15 minute drive to a major shopping center. This is truly a shopper’s paradise.
Right on Route 4 you’ll find the very upscale Shops at Riverside and the discount mall Bergen Town Center and a minute or two west at the intersection of Route 4 and Route 17 is the Garden State Plaza which is one of the largest shopping malls in the New York metro area. Further up Route 17 is the Fashion Center and the Paramus Park Mall although connecting all of these are countless other local malls.
In addition to the major malls and countless others on the Paramus highways you have major local shopping centers with national brands such as The Gap, Starbucks, Ann Taylor, Chico’s etc. in Englewood, Ridgewood and Westwood plus several other towns with strong local business districts such as Glen Rock, Tenafly, Bergenfield and Allendale.
If you need to “shop till you drop” Bergen County has will make you smile!
