Livingston Mall

Livingston Mall is a shopping mall in Livingston, New Jersey, built in 1972. Livingston Mall was planned in the late 1960s and opened for business in stages starting with Bamberger's in 1971, followed by the mall proper itself in 1972 along with additional anchor stores, Sears, M. Epstein, and Hahne & Company in 1972. The mall benefited from the migration of population in Northern New Jersey to suburban and exurban areas, and the exodus of shoppers and stores from downtown Newark, once Northern New Jersey's premiere shopping mecca that was in serious decline since the July 1967 race riots. Both Bamberger's, and Hahne & Co. maintained stores in downtown Newark when the mall opened, Sears also had a store on Elizabeth Avenue in Newark's once popular South Ward. In 1986, the Bamberger's store transformed into Macy's. In 1985, Hahne's closed to make way for Sterns and then Lord & Taylor. Around this time the M. Epstein store was converted to an annex for Macy's. Sears remains the mall's sole original anchor.
The mall's Gap store, dating back to 1973, is the oldest surviving GAP store in New Jersey.
