Willowbrook

It’s all about the adidas store, great assortment, service and cleanliness. The store team is very knowledgeable of trends and pricing opportunities from the competition. Fit room is cleaned and the team gets to know your name in order to make the client and employee connecting.

Let me say this, the mall is fine on the inside, and is a fine place to shop, but the layout is awful and makes no sense, it was like someone with no sense of direction designed the place. Parking is confusing as well. If it wasn’t for this place being open on Sundays I probably would never come here.

Let me start by saying I am not a mall shopper. I try to avoid it all all costs but if I have to go Willowbrook is my mall. Pretty much because it’s convenient. They recently redid the ceilings, floors and food court. Looks a lot better now. They also added some new «furniture» for those of us who may want to sit down and ponder about going back into a store and buying that sweater they loved so much. They also have a good selection of restaurants (Ruby Tuesday, Brio, Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen).

Love this mall! Love my Sephora, Journeys and Mac stores…
Always crowded but I usually don’t mind. I’m a regular and a familiar face so I always get the best service.
AT&T store is awesome too. They let me charge my phone while I shopped!

We have always enjoyed our visits to this Mall. It reminds us of growing up in the suburbs! The stores are not crazy full of people like in a city. They have plenty of room to walk the isles and mall to shop. Lots of restaurants, a food court, and clean renovated restrooms.
We like Sears, Bloomingdales, Macy’s, J. Crew, and all of the other stores. We like to enjoy them all in one location. very convenient
We get there early and at times go during the week. On weekends by afternoon it is crowded. This a a family oriented Mall and family oriented city. They are all shopping for the holidays right now. This is a great place to see Santa. The NJ transit stop is in the mall parking lot. Buses are every half hour bringing people in from NYC. Very convenient, but costly for transportation. Wayne Park and ride is here in the parking lot also.
I’ll always have fond memories of our trips to Willowbrook Mall. We may be moving our business to a closer Mall in another NJ City. If so I’ll post a review of it on Unilocal!

In full disclosure, I can’t stand shopping malls. I can’t stand the parking. I can’t stand the stores. I can’t stand the other shoppers, most of whom aren’t even shopping. I can’t stand the misleading «sales.» I can’t stand the people who try and stop you from their kiosks to try and sell you stuff you don’t need. I can’t stand shopping malls. Get it?
If not for the fact that a Unilocal event was taking place inside the mall, I would have never been here in the first place. But I was in need of some new clothes and one of the few fine perks of living in Jersey is zero sales tax on clothing. (Tell that to all the sucker NYC tourists who can’t wait to get to Fifth Ave.) So, I arrived about an hour early to do some shopping. This mall has all of my basic needs. I don’t need high end. I don’t need designer. I need Macy’s, The Gap, and as it surprisingly turned out, Sears. If you want high end, go to Short Hills, where you’ll likely encounter a real housewife.

As far as malls in the area go, it’s pretty good. The flooring was just redone so it looks clean as of now. The fountain in the middle of the mall is a nice place to sit around and relax a moment. A lot of the stores at the Garden State Plaza or Short Hills are high end and thus not stores I ever by from. Willowbrook has a good variety of middle to higher end. This is a mall for regular people.
Even in holiday season, I’ve never had an issue getting a parking space. Sometimes it’s way far away, but I don’t have to go up and down a hundred aisles. Personally I prefer to park by Sears as it’s a large lot at the end so there’s not as much demand in the area. It’s also a decent sized mall without being overwhelming, so it is my go-​to local mall.

Oh Willowbrook. I’ve been coming here since I was a young chap… I can remember as a teenager in the mid 80’s checking out the ticket prices at Ticketmaster (I think it was called that…) and wishing I could afford a ticket to see Bön Jovi or Quiet Riot at the Meadowlands or Billy Joel or the Beastie Boys at the Garden… Or hanging out in the arcade with my friends. Not a worry or care in sight, except hoping you had enough quarters to play another game of Donkey Kong or Dig Dug or Space Invaders. Then, «Collect Calling» your Mom on the pay phone outside and quickly saying your name on the recording as «Come and get me!!!» so they weren’t charged for the collect call and knew you were ready to get picked up. Oh, those were the days… Except for the new stores, it’s pretty much the same mall, with a few changes — but the clientele that I see there has changed and it’s not your parents, or grandparents for that matter, mall anymore… I did find this facebook page on the mall and it has some neat and old pictures of what was once a «Gnarly» hangout…

Great indoor space for a walkathon! This mall is much better than the ones you find in hudson county although the Jersey Gardens mall has improved a lot. The selection of stores is phenomenal. They got Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, Zara, UNI QLO list goes on and on. They’ve got a decent foodcourt and healthier choices spread out around the mall. Plenty of higher quality restaurants as well. Immerse yourself in consumerism but leave yourself some money.

Love to people watch when at Willowbrook. There’s is always something to buy. There’s always a sale in all my favorite stores. Nice variety of food. There some renovations going on but it doesn’t get in the way of shopping.

Decent mall, a little outdated! Parking is NOT fun here. The stores are ok and it’s clean and less manic than Garden State Plaza.
Personally I wouldn’t make a special trip here again unless I was passing.

This mall is too small and outdated looking. Not enough stores and doesn’t seem like there’s much going on even though it’s a Saturday. Very little benches or places to sit.
Take a look at Bridgewater Mall, not very big but more modern looking and more variety. This mall needs a movie theater or more fine dining nearby.
The other thing is the décor really needs updating, felt like the mall was from the 90s.
Compare to Garden State Plaza mall, this mall is not even close in comparison.

Pretty decent mall. Parking can suck on the weekends and the Apple Store is normally mobbed lol. We love the J Crew and Cheese Cake Factory here

Lots of greats stores in this malls!!! Good deals all the time! Parking lot is huge but still take some time to park during the weekend.
The food court is really big and always bringing new restaurants!
Overall nice mall to shop, very clean and easy to find your way!

Shopper at heart and living in northern NJ willowbrook was actually not my first choice until recently. I specifically go to willowbrook because of Zara and some other boutique stores. As my taste changes I find that this mall is perfect ! The best part is they are open in Sunday’s which is a treat.

I have to say that I enjoy this mall much more than most others I’ve been to in the region. It’s clean, has great stores and the parking lot isn’t a nightmare. There’s really not much more you can ask for in a mall.
We brought the dog here for pictures with Santa and it was great. There are definitely some people that brought dogs that really shouldn’t be in a public space like that. No fault to the dog, of course but the owners should know better that if you can’t contain your animal then maybe Petsmart would be a better option. The area to pick up the photos wasn’t roped off like the line to get to Santa so it was a little chaotic.
I like shopping here and its close to home.

I like this mall. It has a solid selection of stores, including a Uniqlo (opened on ⁹⁄₂₇) and a Bloomingdales, but I wouldn’t say it’s ranked too high on my personal list. However, I can say that it’s an upgrade over the «standard mall» setting.
It gets crowded, let me say that first. On the weekends, it’s a pretty mixed: There are families strolling around, couples locked arm-​in-​arm, teenagers, the elderly, and everyone else in between. On the weekdays, there’s a lot more of the «goth”/Hot Topic «rebel» kids walking around.
Uniqlo, Ann Taylor, Armani Exchange, Express, Express Men, Banana Republic, Bloomingdales, Lord and Taylor, Rockport, Clarks, and H&M are just some of the outlets that call Willowbrook Mall home. As I mentioned above, you can’t find many of the more pricier stores at most malls, so it’s more of an upper-​middle class shopping mall. Of course, you can still find Aeropostale, Apple, J. Crew, Hollister, Hot Topic, Macy’s, and the other typical outlets you expect to see elsewhere.
A lot of people seem to like the food options here, but there wasn’t anything that really sprung out at me. Cheesecake Factory? Nothing special. It’s sub-​par food but the place overall is a nice atmosphere for friends and family after work or on the weekends. I’d say the same thing about Ruby Tuesday. California Pizza Kitchen? It’s Jersey. You don’t need a pizza chain. This may seem lame, but I do like the little drink station in the back part of the food court — you get free refills the whole day as long as the date on the bottom of your cup is current.
There’s ample parking, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Bus stops are scattered throughout the parking lots as well.

This mall has just about every store you could want and they have the greatest sales too. It is a little confusing but it is worthy of trying to figure it out. It is always crowded but again it is worth it.
If you are hungry, not only do they have a food court but they have some great upper end chain restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, Brio and Cheesecake Factory.
I have multiple malls that are closer to my home but I try to visit this mall every month or so just to see their sales!

A pretty run of the mill mall. I liked that the stores were pretty upscale and well-​maintained. We came in the middle of the day and everyone we encountered was nice.
The food options here are a little dismal, which is why I am deducting one star. If you are reading this and it is like 2016 or 2017, I bet things are a lot better food wise… or maybe malls no longer exist.
I guess I am leaning toward the latter.

This used to be my favorite mall to go to while visiting my grandparents in New Jersey (of course my favorite will always be Garden State Mall) but lets face it this place has seen better days. It is the go to spot just to get some quick deals, by what you need, and get the hell on with your day. This is not a mall that when I am pulling up to seems very inviting, even when I walk through it and glance over the shops I don’t get excited or want to spend anymore time than what I have to.
This place isn’t my cup of tea but it does the trick when I need a quick retail pick me up
