North Brunswick Plaza — Attraction in North Brunswick Township

Here’s what I found about North Brunswick Plaza (997 US‑1, North Brunswick, NJ):

🏬 Overview • A large power‑center (~400 000 sq ft) developed by Maione Inc., hosting major big‑box anchors like Walmart, Burlington, Marshalls, Office Depot, Babies“R”Us, HomeGoods, Macy’s Furniture, Modell’s, PetSmart, Sleepy’s, and TGI Friday’s . • Opened in 1987, last renovated in 1995, features around 9–12 stores and 1,600–1,680 parking spaces 

“Good amount of parking, multiple good entrances/exits … lots of parking available close to stores” . “Great location, plenty of products to choose from, nice staff and good prices” .

👍 Strengths • ✔ Excellent parking situation with multiple convenient entrances/exits and rarely a long walk to stores . • ✔ Wide tenant selection: covers essentials—groceries, home décor, department stores, pet supplies, office/back‑to‑school, coffee and dining (). • ✔ Often praised for good prices and helpful staff . • ✔ Contains grab‑and‑go food options like TGI Friday’s (takeout), deli, dumplings .

I like Walmart's but not one in North Brunswick, NJ. I was trying to get hot food and no one was behind the counter but the person was working on the floor and had a serious problem coming to help me.

They usually always have what I need. The Walmart I live by isn't s super Walmart, so I go to this one. I love the new and improved self checkout... When they take cash.
