Located a few blocks from Princeton's Central Business District, Princeton Shopping Center is a "one stop shop-we've got it all" shopping center, providing a unique selection of shopping, dining and services. Designed as a "California-style" mall when it opened in 1956, Princeton Shopping Center differs from other shopping experiences in its layout, thus its popularity amongst customers and business owners alike. Some 50 businesses, a mix of large chains and homegrown businesses, outline a rectangular courtyard, home to beautifully manicured floral displays created by the Center's own chief gardener.
