What Should Replace Sears At Ocean County Mall?

TOMS RIVER, NJ — What would you like to see come to the Ocean County Mall?

With Thursday's announcement by Sears Holdings that it will close the Sears at the mall after more than 41 years, it leaves Simon Properties, the owner of the mall, with a huge space to fill — more than 100,000 square feet of space.

In an era where retailers are continually downsizing due to shifting consumer attitudes and internet pressures, finding a retail store to fill that spot could be a challenge.

So tell us, Patch readers: What would you like to see Simon Properties put in its place? What would make you start visiting Ocean County Mall before you went anywhere else?
