"Goodbye Echelon, Hello Town Center"

The extreme makeover for the Echelon Mall begins this week. The empty J C Penny's and Sears will be torn down in the coming weeks. This will kick off the transition from the Echelon Mall to the Voorhees Town Center. The Echelon name will eventually be dropped all together from the scaled down mall.

Many of the empty stores have buisnesses just waiting to move in when the place is over hauled, and there is a new entrance made on the Macy's end. The project hopes to have the scaled down mall completed by the holiday season of this year.

In addition to the overhaul, a grocery store will be added, along with a road way to drive up to upscale shops like the failed Mainstreet concept miles away on the other side of town. There will also be high end town homes build in some of the parking areas that rarely get used now at what was the Echelon Mall.

The Voorhees Town Center also hopes to attract a bar/ dinning place and already has the liquor licence in place. The entire project should be done by late spring or early summer of 2008.

Echelon Mall, Moorestown Mall, Cherry Hill Mall. What's the difference? They are all Ground Hog Day Malls. It's all the same. Different Name, Same mindset and Same mentality. It never changes. These malls all suck and so does the leadership in them.
