Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City added several new stores and restaurants in 2016. However, not everything from that era is still around — notably Macy’s has since closed its Newport Centre location. Here’s what opened and what’s changed.
Zara at Newport Centre
Zara opened its 20,000-square-foot store at Newport Centre in 2016, located at the second level. The Spanish fashion brand is one of the world’s largest fashion retailers and remains one of the mall’s most popular tenants.
e.l.f. Cosmetics
e.l.f. Cosmetics opened its Studio store at Newport Centre in November 2016, offering professional-grade beauty products at accessible prices. Check the mall directory for current location details.
The Body Shop & Cheesecake Factory
Both The Body Shop and The Cheesecake Factory opened at Newport Centre in 2016. The Cheesecake Factory on the first level between Kohl’s and Macy’s remains a popular dining stop. However, note that The Body Shop closed many US locations in recent years following parent company restructuring — we recommend verifying current status before visiting.
Zinburger: Closed
Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar opened at Newport Centre in late 2016. Zinburger’s parent company filed for bankruptcy in 2019 and all locations closed. The space has since been taken over by other tenants.
Macy’s at Newport Centre: Closed
In 2016, we noted uncertainty about Macy’s at Newport Centre as the department store had announced plans to shutter 100 locations. That closure did happen — Macy’s has since closed its Newport Centre location. The anchor space is now occupied by other retail tenants.
