Quick answer: Rockaway Townsquare’s new lineup includes a Dick’s House of Sport (coming soon, no opening date announced yet), Cairo Bites for Egyptian and Middle Eastern food, Socks & Jammies, Pasta Lab and a now open Snipes. The mall is at 301 Mount Hope Avenue in Rockaway, right off Route 80.
Rockaway Townsquare has been a Morris County shopping habit since it opened in August 1977, and the mall is heading into its next chapter with a fresh batch of tenants. The biggest name on the list is one sports families have been asking about for a while: a Dick’s House of Sport.
Here is every new store we could confirm on the mall’s own directory, what each one is, and where things stand right now. We will keep an eye on opening dates as the stores announce them.
1. Dick’s House of Sport, Rockaway Townsquare
This is the headliner. House of Sport is Dick’s Sporting Goods’ big experiential format, and the mall’s listing describes it as “more than a store,” with gear for everything from baseball and lacrosse to yoga and wrestling, plus an interactive space where shoppers can practice their skills before they buy. The store is planned to stretch across both levels of the mall.
Status: listed as coming soon. No official opening date has been announced yet, so we are not guessing at one.
Address: Rockaway Townsquare, 301 Mount Hope Ave, Rockaway, NJ 07866
2. Cairo Bites, Rockaway Townsquare lower level
Good news for anyone tired of the same food court rotation. Cairo Bites is a fast casual Mediterranean spot focused on Egyptian and Middle Eastern cooking: grilled shawarma wraps, rice bowls, sandwiches, appetizers and desserts, all ordered at the counter. It is on the mall’s lower level.
Status: the mall’s directory now posts regular hours for Cairo Bites (Monday to Thursday 10 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday 10 am to 9 pm, Sunday noon to 6 pm). Call the mall at 973-361-4070 before you make a special trip.
3. Socks & Jammies, Rockaway Townsquare upper level
Just in time for holiday gift lists, Socks & Jammies bills itself as a go to shop for socks, slippers and sleepwear. Think matching family pajamas, fuzzy slippers and stocking stuffers that actually get used. It will be on the upper level.
Status: listed as coming soon.
4. Pasta Lab, Rockaway Townsquare
If you have ever watched a video of pasta being tossed inside a giant wheel of cheese and wanted in, this one is for you. Pasta Lab says it makes real cheese wheel pasta from scratch, which would make it one of the more fun dining additions the mall has seen.
Status: listed as coming soon, no opening date yet.
5. Snipes, Rockaway Townsquare
Sneakerheads already have a reason to visit. Snipes, the sneaker and streetwear chain, is featured on the mall’s homepage as now open, with basketball shoes, running sneakers and urban apparel.
Hours: Monday to Thursday 10 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday 10 am to 9 pm, Sunday noon to 6 pm.
Why the Rockaway Townsquare additions matter
Rockaway Townsquare, a Simon property, is still anchored by Macy’s and JCPenney, with Raymour & Flanigan, Apple, The Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang’s among its draws. A destination store like House of Sport tends to pull in families from all over the region, which is good news for every shop and restaurant around it. Add a new Egyptian lunch option and a cheese wheel pasta counter, and the mall is giving people more reasons to stay a while.
