This is so sad. I used to go there every day when I was 5 (in 2001). We'd park outside of JCPenney, get chocolate at Gertrude Hawk, play with model trains at the model train store, look at the pet shop... one time we had family photos taken at The Picture People. So many memories...
Was in better shape in 2001
Unfortunately the mall management didn’t update the mall at all. Still seems like the 70’s and 80’s. And it’s in the middle of nowhere in voorhees. Not exactly on a major road.
I used to go there during 2016-2018. It was so fun to be there. Would read comics at this one shop and then head for some chick-fil-a afterwards. Usually we’d head to Payless too.
Shame. I remember going to this mall in the 90s and it was always packed.
Ehilarama, Mr bulkys, Kay bee toys Spencer's, Strawbridges omg I have so many memories here.
This mall was great in the 90s loved it !!!
Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, yesterday at the old Echelon Mall Voorhees, NJ with your lovely Mrs C...Great video..Anyway happy birthday lovely Mrs C, happy thanksgiving and TOODLES...
I like the fact that they seem to keep up with maintenance. The mall looks pretty modern, well decorated, and very clean
The food court was great too.
Wow a candy machine i haven't seen that in a long time wow 😮
Remember when malls had great fountains,and planters ?
Ugh Jon....That one made me sad! You know I was born and raised in Jersey. So many fun memories going to that mall and the Moorestown Mall. We only went to Cherry Hill Mall every now and again, and never hit up Deptford growing up. I hate seeing this, but that's the way society I guess has transformed. Places like The Promenade in Marlton, The open air outlet shops at like the Glouscter Premium Outlets, the Atlantic City Outlets, etc is more enjoyable? I dunno, another video reminding me how lucky I was to grow up when I did....
This is the best mall ever wow 👋🤗
The relative for Kelly Rippa has a public office in the adjacent building. The public library is a worthwhile visit next door .
I was wondering about that mall… That used to be one of my places to shop around Christmas time. My daughter and I were at the Plymouth Meeting mall last week and it was the same. It’s a shame!
Hahahaha so glad you visited. Knew it would be an absolute ghost town. How this place is still opened I have no idea. The only time I see people in there is the old folks doing laps for exercise.
Oh and the Chinese restaurant when you first walk in at the entrances between jc Penney and the food court. Also Woolworth used to be at the end by hc penny's. I have so many memories with my Mom at this mall. 😭 I miss her.
I like the palm trees 🌴
The last time I was at the Echelon Mall was when Exhilerama Laser tag closed down. I was working at the Chick-fil-A at the time. They had those large colorful soda fountains. Across from the mall was the library with the ducks outside.
Oh and the picture place we had a family photo there. There was a store called Merry Go Round and Contempo Casuals back in the late 80's/early 90's. Also Rave. Lady Bug.
Great video love the videos, happy thanks giving
Come out to the Exton Square Mall!
My girl worked at the Dr office there... Literally no one shops there. I picked her up on a Friday night and was a little early.. security, and myself only ones
Internet shopping i.e. Amazon etc. is killing shopping centers.
@Mister Google but internet shopping is wayyy inexpensive. I shop Amazon sometimes two to three times a month depending on what I need. Also there’s a Amazon distribution center only fifteen minutes from me so I get things sometimes the next day!
@@potatolew4495 there will always be stores or some type of retail establishments. Not everyone shops online. Online shopping is just a convenient way to save time and money.
Thats an over-simplification. There is a number of reasons.
WOW - was in Neshaminy yesterday - I thought that was bad - this one IS more dead!! Also, nice to see Ms. Captain too !! : )
That’s crazy you went there I live in Voorhees! I can agree that the mall is pretty much dead at this point.
Reminds me of Owings Mills mall in MD just before it tore down
Great place to shop! You save a ton of money!
Used to go here during the weekends growing up. Food court was great and was so busy. Cinnabon was king.
Wow I'll miss the malls God knows what you get when you order on line or if you'll even get it.

Used to get gum balls from those machines back in 2018. They looked pretty new at the time so those gumballs are a good 5 years old.
Yea when I had my daughter in 2017 I had to go there to get her birth certificate so there's some official business there.
Neshaminy Mall kinda surprises me.
They have a few decent stores
IDK how it stays open?
the most dead mall in america is Irongate mall in MN
but this one is pretty darn close!
That is just a Boscovs with a REALLY large lobby and waiting area lol
Cool mall. Wish I was closer I’d go document it.
Since you filmed this , 4 new businesses have moved into the Voorhees town center . A candy/popcorn/cookie store in the food court, a Turkish mosaic lamp store , a party store and a furniture store is getting ready to open in the old Macy’s. It’s definitely not dead , still gets a fair amount of foot traffic
Oh ok there is 1 store open for food i love the massage chairs i think this is the best mall ever wow very nice wow and they have a bath and body works wow i never seen this wow i want to go am excited best mall ever 🤩
This is heartbreaking
I would like to see the place that you visited a while ago, It was a very large Christmas tree store in the suburbs . It was beautiful inside and out.
I was there 3 weeks ago Casey Neistat Goes To Feeney’s

Head south to Cardiff circle shopping center. It used to have big box stores including pathmark, Forman Mills and Big Lots. Now it’s actually a Big Lot! Harbor Square across the highway isn’t much better only surviving because of a Boscovs and a New Jersey DMV! Sad times.
sad-all malls look like this-must cost more in heat air and lighting to justify keeping it open
Echelon Mall did have it's heyday too. But it's been downsized over the years, a shell of what it once was.
Man! Looks like my two local malls!!!
LMAO those lights on the outside... what the hell? Looks like a Tim Burton stoplight.
That one eatery moved into echelon mall this year! Why the owner chose to set up shop in a very dead mall is beyond me. There is a court room there too
Wow this used to be a great mall back in the day😢
Lol I told yah soo!! Hahaah
So sad. It's like a ghost town.
Check out Montgomeryville mall that shit dead too lol
COVID mostly made this happen. With the times. Amazon ain't helping and kids don't play outside anymore!!! Its depressing to see!!!
The dead mall phenomenon started en masse just after the financial panic of 2008. It was a slow burn nationwide. Starting in 2020 is when it went into overdrive.
Used to be a favorite of mine..back in the day. Sad now
Macys left in 2017.
I remember as a kid in the 80s when the Oxford Valley Mall was PACKED. Walking in there not that long ago it was so empty it was depressing. People are buying all their stuff on Amazon now. Times have changed.
It been months i dont buy from amazon.... i dont like online shopping doesnt make sense to me!!
Why did they even bother with the Christmas decorations? Nobody is there to notice or care.
All the malls overpriced themselves into extinction!!
this is funny when I was fifteen I ran away from Scranton, Pa to a friends house in Belmar, NJ . He had a great idea to go panhandle at the Echelon Mall well we got caught by security and were told to never come back to this mall . LOL i guess Iam not missing much
that was in 1971
@@CaptainRon542 Wow! Some people dress up like homeless and panhandle in big cities like Philly and NYC to earn under the table money
Seriously, why did they bother even decorating for Christmas?
How is it still open
WHO are the decorating for? There is nobody there?
Please show Aramingo store
Never heard of it.
Told ya it was dead lol
Worst mall ever😡😡😡
Remember seeing Kevin Nash basically shut the place down back in the NWO days
Yeah, when hall of heroes occupied it aka Adventureland. Last I heard, they moved out and set up the store in the Premium Outlets in Gloucester Twp.
Wow I worked part time at the Macy’s there back in like 2003 and haven’t been back since so this is shocking
2003 was a hammer blow when JCP went outta business and problems for the mall really began to start piling up. Exhilarama going bust in 1996 was the canary in the coalmine
You gotta check out the Exton Mall. Straight up ghost town
Another PREIT "success story". PREIT fled like a thief in the night in 2015 when they sold Echelon Mall.
Echelon Mall used to be a really happening place. Then all the stores moved out when they built the Vorhees Towncenter. Such a shame.
