Important current retail changes

The Route 22 corridor has changed substantially. Former names such as Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, Toys “R” Us and other earlier tenants should not be treated as current Watchung businesses. Blue Star and Watchung Square now have different tenant mixes, and several replacement concepts are still moving through opening phases.

Coming-soon businesses are not counted as current listings. Blue Star has publicized future tenants including Raising Cane's, Sakura Teriyaki, iSmash, Back Nine Golf and Modern Nails Lounge. They should be moved into the active directory only after opening is confirmed.

Business directory researched September 2026. Ownership, hours and tenancy can change, especially in shopping centers. Verify before making a special trip.
