The Ocean County Mall has undergone quite a transformation lately with the addition of LA Fitness, Home Sense, Honeyglow, Turning Point, Five Below, ULTA, and others.

But what is still missing?

I wasn't a mall rat when I went to Toms River High School East, but I spent a fair amount of time at the Ocean County Mall.

I graduated back in 2001, and the mall hasn't changed much.

I'm talking about the inside of the mall. Other retailers and restaurants, including Texas Roadhouse, are starting to pop up, which is exciting.

Think about it. When did we last hear about a new store opening at the Ocean County Mall?

Some would say that COVID had something to do with it, which is a possibility.

It's not like we have everything we need at Ocean County Mall. There are a ton of retailers that are desperately needed.

If you're like me and live in Ocean County, you often bypass the Ocean County Mall and go to Freehold Raceway Mall instead. It's a bit of a hike, but Freehold Raceway Mall offers far more.

I asked you for your "Ocean County Mall Wishlist." These are more than the stores, restaurants, and attractions we want.
