[edit] History

Federated Department Stores announced in July 1993 that it would be opening a 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) Stern's store at the Ledgewood Mall in fall 1994, as part of a major nationwide expansion of the chain.[2]

The Jamesway store in the mall, which had been an anchor since its opening at the Ledgewood Mall in 1978, closed in December 1995 following the company's liquidation. The Ledgewood Mall's Jamesway store would hold a weekly bingo game for senior citizens, a practice that was ended as the store began the process of closing down.[3] By 1999, Walmart had opened in the former Jamesway building,[4] and Circuit City was added as well. A Pharmhouse drugstore in the mall became an Ashley Furniture HomeStore.
