The Voorhees Main Street Complex (also known as the Voorhees Complex, Main Street Complex, or simply Main Street) is a shopping center, banquet hall, residential, medical and business complex located in Voorhees, New Jersey, United States. It was developed by John B. Canuso, a South Jersey developer.

The first phase of the Main Street Complex was built in 1988[2] with the entire project costing $200 million. It was designed to serve as a marketplace and town center for Voorhees. It was built on 167 acres (0.68 km2), which included a 162,000-square-foot (15,100 m2) business complex. This became known as Main Street Plaza 1000. Another business complex, known as Main Street Piazza, was established in 1990.[3] Restaurants, exclusive shops, open gardens, and condominiums were also soon developed. The Radnor Corporation, which was Canuso's partnership for the project, took control of the complex in 1994. In 1997, Radnor Corp. sold the complex to Brandywine Realty Trust for $21.5 million.[4] In October 1988, former President Ronald Reagan made a campaign stop at the complex.[5]
The Main Street Complex is located on Main Street (namesake for the complex) and Kresson Road, between Evesham Road (CR 544) and Centennial Boulevard in Voorhees, New Jersey. Besides Voorhees, Main Street serves neighboring Cherry Hill, Marlton, Gibbsboro and Berlin, along with other areas throughout South Jersey. The largest amenity on the site is the Cooper Health System (formerly occupied by the West Jersey Heath System, currently known as Virtua), which consists of several medical offices. Directly above some of the medical offices are condominiums. Catelli Italian Restaurant was a restaurant that opened in 1994 and closed on July 24, 2011. A new location is planned to open at the Voorhees Town Center.[6] The Main Street Pub is currently the only restaurant in the complex, which opened in 1992. The Mansion is a catering facility with several banquet rooms. Since its opening in 1990,[7] The Mansion hosts various functions, including weddings, conferences, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other special events.
Patrons and employees of the complex have access to a North and South parking garage, in addition to various parking lots. Former tenants of the complex include Sahara Sam's (an indoor amusement park) and Toppers Salon and Spa. The Main Street Complex has a Bourbon Street appearance.
A CVS Pharmacy, a bank, and the Congregation Beth El synagogue are free-standing buildings on the property of Main Street.
