When Woodbridge Center opened in the early 70's, the 3 anchor department stores were Abraham & Strauss, Stern's and Ohrbach's. The expansion later added 2 more anchor stores - Hahne's and JC Penney.

In its early days, Woodbridge Center was quite spectacular with numerous fountains and waterfalls throughout the mall. The center court had a gorgeous criss-cross fountain. When the expansion opened, another amazing fountain was located by the escalators by Penny's that shot a column of water almost 30 feet high.

It's really a shame that multiple renovations stripped out a lot of the elements that made Woodbridge Center the premiere mall in Central Jersey.
