Customers could also easily travel to the nearby [[Monmouth Mall]], [[Seaview Square Mall]], [[Brunswick Square Mall]], or the [[Manalapan Mall]].

The crowds eventually came and the vacancy rate at the mall significantly dropped. The explosive success of the Freehold Raceway Mall in the 1990s and early 2000s ultimately led to the downfall of the nearby Manalapan Mall, which closed in 1999 (which redeveloped into the [[Manalapan EpiCentre]]), along with the Seaview Square Mall (which redeveloped into a power center.{{citation needed|date=April 2018}}).
