Ocean County Mall 2019 Black Friday, Holiday Hours

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Thanksgiving is almost here and with that comes lots of holiday shopping during the 2019 holiday season. With stores staying open longer as we approach Christmas, it's helpful to know before you go.

The Ocean County Mall will be open on Thanksgiving and Black Friday for any deal hounds, and on Christmas Eve for procrastinators. They'll also open early for early birds and stay open late for night owls.

In addition, Santa Claus has arrived for your annual Christmas photos. Simon, the parent company of Ocean County Mall, has a "Fast Pass" program to help you skip the line. You can learn more about that and the hours Santa will be available for photos on the Ocean County Mall website.
