The 16 Stores in New Jersey That We Miss the Most For Holiday Shopping

Question: which malls will you be visiting over the next few weeks as you attempt to cross things off of your holiday shopping list?

It wasn't that long ago where you would be going from store to store in search of those perfect gifts.

Sure, big stores and malls in New Jersey will be packed with people over the next few weeks, but not like it used to be.

Most holiday shopping seems to happen one of two ways these days -- one, youu buy stuff online and Santa (and/or the Amazon delivery van) magically delivers it to your front door within a matter of hours -- or -- two, you actually go to a store like Target or Walmart and shop "the old-fashioned way."

But "old-fashioned" is a relative term.

Back before the internet took over and Walmart was a zillion-dollar company, you had a ton of stores to pick from.

Not too long ago, you'd run into Caldor for some clothes, maybe grab something for the house at Bradlees, or pick-up a cool little electronic gadget at Circuit City.

Sadly, those days seem to be long gone -- but, thanks to the internet, we can revisit some big stores that are no longer with us here in New Jersey.

So, empty-out your 1986 Chrysler minivan because you are going to need all of that empty space as we go shopping at stores that you can never visit ever again...
