A few months ago I was driving from Avon-by-the-sea up to Wegmans in Woodbridge, mostly taking Route 35. Along the way I passed a /really/ big mall. Now I'm trying to remember what/where about the mall. All I can remember, other than it's massive size, is that it is on the east side of the road. Any ideas?

The wife (now) adds that the mall is still new and that there was construction still going on.

I would guess Monmouth Mall, they’re constantly updating/changing store fronts and restaurants so it has construction going on. It’s in a large plaza so it does look sprawling. Were northbound and southbound separated by a grass median near the mall and a bunch of traffic lights in the area? I think that area of 35 is one of the last spots going north towards Woodbridge that primarily has grassy medians and not just concrete barriers

I think you’re confusing 36 and 35. 35 is concrete medians until you cross over 36, then it becomes undivided and redivides after Red Bank.

Monmouth mall. It's dumpy right now cause the nice stores left, but they are gonna renovate it into something more outdoor and modern.

On 35 you have Monmouth mall on the west side and Nordstrom rack/macys mattress and petco on the east side.
Further north you have the grove at shrewsbury. Then you have chapel hill shopping center with Whole Foods
Then you have Middletown marketplace shopping with Livotis and TJ Maxx.
Then there’s holmdel town center with Texas Roadhouse on the east side (35N) and the commons at holmdel with Best Buy on the west side.
That’s it, unless you got off 35 and ended up at Menlo Park

Thanks for all those! Do any of them have a hotel?

There’s a Sheraton by Monmouth mall.

Menlo mall?

Specifically we drove from Avon to BJ's, and then BJ's to the Woodbridge Wegmans. The mall was between BJ's and Wegmans.

Short Hills Mall.

Geographically impossible.

Jersey Gardens maybe then.
paulb104 OP t1_j28o1pv wrote
Again, geographically impossible.
The location is along Route 35 between Bj's in Oakhurst and Wegmans in Woodbridge. After Wegmans we used the Outerbridge, and we were at Avon-by-the-Sea before we got to BJ's.

Sounds like Willowbrook then.

Can’t be.

Your talking about the Woodbridge Mall
paulb104 OP t1_j1x84ae wrote
No, it's not the Woodbridge Mall. We've been going to that place for decades, plus that mall is north of that Wegmans.

Was it closer to Avon? Monmouth Mall? I wouldn’t call it particularly big, but not sure what else fits along 35.
