Livingston Mall is just the local mall you can find anywhere. One thing different about Livingston Mall is that it is close to The Mall at Short Hills.
Livingston Mall’s life began in 1971 with a Bamberger’s. A year later in 1972 the actual Livingston Mall opened for business. With anchor stores, Sears, M. Epstein, and Hahne & Company. The mall benefited from a migration of the population to Northern Jersey. They also benefited of shoppers not shopping in downtown Newark anymore. In 1985 Hahne & Co. gave way to Lord & Taylor. At the same time M.Epstein also closed because they were owned by the same company as Hanes. M. Epstein was converted into an annex for Macy’s. In 1986 Bamberger’s was transformed into a Macy’s.
I have been keeping an eye on this mall for the past few years and have noticed some things

I have been keeping an eye on this mall for the past few years and have noticed some things
- They only renovated one entrance
- There Bath & Body Works just renovated
- They have slowly been becoming an outlet mall
- Examples for Outlets: Loft Outlet, Express Factory Outlet , NY & Company Outlet.
Those are four things I noticed. Livingston Mall is like the secondary mall for the area and doesn’t house anything special, but Short Hills does! To Livingston’s credit they have a vintage Spencer’s!
