Moorestown Mall has undergone a transformation that has delivered to South Jersey a high-quality movie going experience at the region's only Regal RPX cinema, a robust lineup of dining destinations including celebrity chef-inspired restaurants such as Distrito by Jose Garces and Dave Magrogan's Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar. Additionally, the mall's "Boutique Row" concept caught the attention of the renowned South Jersey beauty mecca Rizzieri Salon and Spa, which moved their flagship location to Moorestown Mall last year. Joining Rizzieri on Boutique Row are upscale fashion boutiques Erdon, Zeyzani and Never Too Spoiled, as well Orangetheory Fitness, the New York Times-acclaimed fitness studio and voted "Best One-Hour Workout in the Country".
