Bambergers, Cherry Hill Mall, Cherry Hill NJ 1963

This authentic 1960s color photograph, captured in 1963, highlights the sophisticated interior storefront of Bamberger’s at the Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The archival image showcases the store’s modern architectural facade, which utilizes vertical dark wood panels set against a white header, prominently featuring the brand name in bold white block letters with the subtitle “A Division of R.H. Macy & Co., Inc.” Inside the wide, open-concept entrance, the “Boys Clothing” department is visible, decorated with stylized murals of galloping horses. To the right, a large, colorful plywood cutout advertisement features a blonde woman in a blue dress, likely promoting dance or fitness classes within the mall. In the foreground, the edge of a circular stone fountain and lush tropical greenery represent the mall’s innovative “Palm Court” design. Bamberger’s was a major New Jersey-based department store chain and a key anchor for Cherry Hill Mall, which was a pioneer in the enclosed shopping center industry. While the Bamberger’s brand was fully converted to Macy’s in 1986, this original building still serves as a centerpiece of the mall today. This factual record preserves the high-end retail aesthetics and mid-century graphic design of a landmark American shopping destination.
