Andre was working the bar and tables. He was un intrepid when it came down to our order. A spot on for a long Island ice tea and a sprite. Took 2 minutes. The food order was right behind no fooling around. The burgers came out as were ordered. Mine was rare. A good place to grab lunch while shopping.

This long strip mall has been around for a long time, even longer before I was born! Back then,…read moremost (if not all) of the units were filled with retail stores. Finding a parking spot at any part of this place was never an issue during that time. In the 90s, the notable anchors included Toys R Us, Kids R Us, Marshall's, and Shop-Rite. Of course, we can't forget about the department store called Caldor's. Yeah, I went to that store when I was a little kid for clothing, toys, and more. I bet you folks during the 90s time period (and maybe earlier?) remember that store. There was also the movie theater. I remember seeing the structure, but never caught a flick there. I don't even remember if it was still operational during the 90s. I bet you folks remember that too. Today, the strip mall consists of various stores that sell clothing and general merchandise. There are also stores that separately sell some electronics (Radio Shack), school supplies (Becker's), and video games (GameStop). Finally, there are places to grab something to eat in the main unit (Five Guys, Let's Yo), and in separate, stand-alone locations (Wendy's, Arby's, Buffet, and TGI Friday's). Hard to decide on where to go? The movie theater was replaced by Michael's, which sold supplies for arts and crafts. Caldor's space was replaced by Kohl's. The types of merchandise that Caldor's carried was no different than Kohl's. Kids R Us was replaced by Office Depot (small store that sold office supplies before closing down) and Sears Outlet, which sold refurbished appliances and units with broken or missing parts at low prices. So where do you want to go? Whenever I come here, I usually go to either ShopRite, Kohl's, or Dollar Tree on separate occasions. Sometimes I would go to Michael's and Marshall's, but only when necessary. I would also go to the buffet if I'm craving a huge lunch and TGI Friday's if I'm craving a good dinner or a drink with my friend. It's really great to have all those places in one spot within close proximity for those who lived close-by. Today, there were more empty spaces in the strip mall compared to long ago. It would be nice if interesting stores fill up those spaces someday. Also, prepare for the possibility of parking far away from the store that you really want to go to, especially on weekends. This is usually the case with Kohl's at times, in which the parking lot in front of the store would be so filled that you would either have to wait for a spot to open up or simply park in another part of the strip mall and walk far out. Sometimes, Shop-Rite is like that too, but again, this occurs more often with Kohl's. The close proximity of the places that I usually patronize here make me a fan!

There are a ton of great stores outside of the plaza as well, a Barnes and Noble, Target, Hand and Stone, and plenty of good food options are all within a 2 mile radius. The stores are all fairly new and well maintained and the plaza can get a bit busy but there is plenty of parking.

When I was a little toddler in Garwood, my dad would take me out here just to walk around. There was an "open space" area with visible steel structures where I used to just run around briefly during those times. Today, that "open space" is still there. This strip mall has two anchor stores. Since the early 90s, those anchor stores were Walgreens and Kings. During the 90s, they had some other notable stores that I remember either going into or passed by when I was little. Those stores included Radio Shack, Encore Books (I bet a lot of you during those times remember this store!), Dress Barn, an Eye DR place, a liquor store, and a laundromat. The roof tops on the strip mall were green, and some green circles were visible on some parts of the strip mall as well. The parking lot is huge, and reasonably sized for all of the patrons here. The parking lot is also for patrons only, since they don't like commuters parking for the purpose of boarding trains. In the 90s, the parking area revealed a lot of old, faded parking stripes and designs, which proved that the parking layout was different long before I existed. But fast forward to today, the old parking decals are long gone, and the lot itself is quite smoother than before. Today, the stores that are still in business since the 90s include Kings, Dress Barn, an Eye Dr place (with different name), and a laundromat. Encore Books was gone and the space was probably taken over by Pet Valu. Walgreens moved further down the road, and Crunch Fitness took their former spot, thus making them an anchor. The liquor store got replaced by GNC. The steel structures were covered up in the "open space" area. The roof tops are still green today, as well as the circles, except for the one circle on top of Investors Bank. Not sure why that was painted with a different color. Overall, this strip mall serves the purpose of catering to the patrons in a very small town. I've never had an issue with parking here at all. Walking from one end of the strip mall to the other is pleasant. But be patient when trying to make a left turn into the strip mall from South Avenue as the opposing traffic can be very hectic at times. Cheers!

The mall is fairly big, with two floors, carrying a lot of familiar brand stores, and even ones that I'm sure some have never heard of. The interior has a modern look, which I'm sure had its renovation done a couple or several years back, but adds up looking clean and nice. It's in no condition of being a dead mall, despite there being a couple of closed stores, specifically anchor stores that don't exist anymore (pretty much all malls these days). The food court has a number to offer, with some of its usual eateries and a couple of ones that will blow your mind. Plenty of tables are provided to fit many people. For restaurants, there are Red Robin, The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, Muldoon's Steakhouse & Pub, and Chipotle Mexican Grill. I wouldn't mind coming back to this mall, but won't be anytime soon due to how far I am.

Many other errands came be completed here as the plaza includes a couple places to eat, Marshalls for clothes and household, Great Clips for haircuts, Best Buy for Electronics, Thrift Store for deals, Dollar Tree for the cheap needs and more. If you can't find what you need, Route 22 awaits where everything else you could want is out there. Of course beware of weekends as everyone comes out. Best thing about this shopping center is also the back access from Liberty Ave./Morris Ave. so Route 22 isn't even necessary as that itself is often filled with traffic. Yup Union Plaza is great.
