The Shoppes at Cross Keys — Local services in Gloucester Township

This shopping center has a little bit of everything, and for the most part it’s all pretty good. Chipotle and YoGo Factory right next to each other deserve at least four stars alone. Plaza Azteca is also a good restaurant. There are shops like Carter and NY&Co, a Hello Gorgeous Salon, a Starbucks and the best urgent care I’ve ever been to. I can’t give five stars because the set up of the Starbucks drive thru is pretty bad. In fact, I typically won’t even go to this Starbucks if I want or need to do drive thru. But overall the shopping center is one of the better ones...

I went to the Hobby lobby, the store was clean but finding stuff was an adventure in itself, then you need to guess on the price since somethings are a percentage off while similar things on the same shelf are not. Then I got in a line only to be told by the head cashier that I had to move to a longer line for some undetermined reason. The check out line was slow, I thought I was at a Walmart for a while. Perhaps the head cashier could have opened another line Instead of bothering...

This whole plaza used to be a big farm next to the highway; there used to be a giant old tree with a tire swing that could be seen when one was driving along the entrance ramp. I'm sad that it's gone but I can't knock the stores for urban development/sprawl.

These stores are convenient and there's lots of nice things here; restaurants, clothes & shoe shops, a clinic, ice cream shops and fast food, etc.

I grew up around here and these stores are nice but I miss...
