Rockaway Townsquare Stores
With 180+ stores spread across two floors, Rockaway Townsquare covers all the bases — from everyday fashion to specialty retailers. It’s anchored by Macy’s and JCPenney, which together cover clothing, home, beauty, and accessories for the whole family. Beyond the anchors, you’ll find a solid mix of national brands across every category:
- Fashion & Apparel — H&M, Gap, Express, American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Lane Bryant, and more across all styles and budgets
- Footwear — Foot Locker, Skechers, Famous Footwear, Journeys — solid selection especially for sneakers and casual shoes
- Tech & Electronics — Apple Store (one of the few in Morris County), plus carrier stores for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile
- Beauty & Health — Sephora, Bath & Body Works, and a selection of salon and wellness options
- Home & Lifestyle — From bedding to décor, the home section covers the essentials without going overboard
- Specialty & Gifts — Spencer’s, Things Remembered, and a range of gift and novelty shops rounding out the mix
Pro tip: New Jersey charges zero sales tax on clothing and footwear — so every pair of shoes and every jacket you buy here is already cheaper than the same item across the border in New York.
Entertainment
The AMC Rockaway 16 is the mall’s entertainment anchor — 16 screens with modern digital projection, recliner seating in select auditoriums, and online reservations so you can plan your movie before you even arrive. It’s a solid choice for a full day out: shop first, then catch a film in the evening. AMC also runs a loyalty program (AMC Stubs) that’s worth signing up for if you go more than once a month.
Dining
The food court covers the usual quick-service bases — pizza, burgers, Asian food, and sandwiches for a quick refuel between stores. For a sit-down meal, there are a handful of casual restaurants around the mall perimeter. Nothing groundbreaking, but reliable and convenient. If you want more variety, Rockaway has a strong independent restaurant scene within a few minutes’ drive from the mall — worth exploring before or after your visit.
Tips Before You Visit
- Go mid-week for the best experience — Rockaway is noticeably calmer Tuesday through Thursday. Weekends get busier, especially around the Apple Store and AMC.
- Download the Simon app — Seasonal sale events, store-specific promotions, and mall maps are all in there. Handy if you’re planning a targeted shopping run.
- No Bergen County blue laws here — Unlike GSP or Paramus Park, Rockaway Townsquare is in Morris County and stays open on Sundays. All stores, no restrictions.
- Book AMC tickets in advance — Friday and Saturday evenings fill up fast, especially for new releases. Reserve your seats online to avoid disappointment.
- Year-round indoor comfort — Fully climate-controlled, which makes Rockaway a smart choice on hot summer days or cold winter weekends when outdoor shopping isn’t appealing.
