About Princeton Shopping Center

For over 70 years, Princeton Shopping Center has served as a vibrant community gathering place. Its unique design features large entrances, more than 45 local and national businesses, and a beautifully landscaped two-acre courtyard affectionately known as “the living room of Princeton.” Anchored by McCaffrey’s Market and hosting numerous events throughout the year, the center is a cornerstone of the thriving Princeton community.

Deeply rooted in the rich history of Princeton—a town known for its intellectual and social vibrancy, as well as its charming residential character—the shopping center was built in the early 1950s as a regional destination serving central New Jersey. Since its inception, events like makers markets, outdoor concerts and movies, children’s storytime series and seasonal and community festivities have fostered connection and engagement amongst the community.
