Davenport, Iowa — Von Maur Department Stores plans to open a new anchor store at Macerich’s Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, N.J., with an anticipated opening in fall 2027. The new location will mark the company’s first store in New Jersey, expanding its presence in the Northeast.
Von Maur is renowned for its thoughtfully curated selection of brand-name and specialty apparel, shoes, accessories and gifts. The three-level, approximately 164,000-square-foot Von Maur location will feature the company’s industry-leading amenities including superior customer service, an interest-free charge card, a robust rewards program and complimentary services such as gift wrapping and shipping.
“We are thrilled to bring the Von Maur experience to Central New Jersey,” says Jim von Maur, president and fourth-generation leader of Von Maur Department Stores. “Freehold Raceway Mall is the area’s premier shopping destination, and we look forward to joining its vibrant retail community. As we continue to expand across the country, this new location represents an exciting milestone for our company.”
The Von Maur store will be an anchor tenant in the space previously occupied by Nordstrom and will feature the company’s hallmark residential ambiance, plush furnishings, open-floor plan and live music from the store’s grand piano.
Once the Freehold store is complete, Von Maur will have 40 department store locations across the country. Building upon this successful growth, the company is also undergoing a multi-phased, $100 million renovation of its existing stores over the next 5 years.

The company also operates Dry Goods, the trend-driven young women’s apparel and accessories retailer. For more information, visit www.vonmaur.com.
