Seacourt Pavilion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seacourt Pavilion is a regional shopping center on Hooper Avenue in Toms River, New Jersey. It is right across the street from the Ocean County Mall. The mall has a gross leasable area of 253,000 ft²[1].

The shopping center is split-level, with the parking lot on the east side higher than on the west side. Tenants include Marshalls, Old Country Buffet (which has its own porte-cochere), Pier 1 Imports, Loew's Cineplex, LA Fitness and a Sears Hometown Dealer.

[edit] History

Ground was broken on the project in May 1988, with plans to build a two-level enclosed mall, 120,00 square feet of office space and a 150-room hotel.[2]

As part of a re-envisioning of the traditional shopping center, Seacourt Pavilion created an innovative farmers' market — similar to comparable facilities at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, South Street Seaport in New York City and Quincy Market in Boston — in addition to its existing food court, offering shoppers options for both prepared and farm fresh foods.[3]
