Cherry Hill Mall: Ready-To-Announce Openings!

Big, ready-to-announce developments at the Cherry Hill Mall include two new openings.

On July 11 the new Grand Luxe Cafe will open on the Mall's "bistro row" fronting Route 38.

The idea for Grand Lux Cafe came to life when The Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas asked David Overton, Founder of The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, to create an upscale casual restaurant concept for their property.

Excited by the proposal and the opulent "Venetian" theme, Mr. Overton traveled to Europe to study Italian trattorias, French bistros, and the grand cafes and pastry shops of Vienna. This culinary tour through Europe, focused on food, architecture, décor and design, provided the inspiration for what the restaurant was destined to become.

Blending the grandeur and luxury of European cafes with the sensibilities and spirit of an all-American restaurant, "Grand Lux Cafe" was born. Today, with 13 locations across the country, Grand Lux Cafe is proud to offer guests unique, casual global cuisine in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The Cherry Hill Mall location will mark the first Grand Luxe opening in the Philadelphia region.



Grand Lux Cafe's eclectic menu offers extraordinary variety and selection, with flavor profiles ranging from Thai, Malaysian and Caribbean, to classic American and European specialties. With every item prepared fresh to order in an exhibition-style kitchen, the focus remains on providing guests with the finest, freshest foods available.

Also offered is an impressive selection of unusual and creative Specialty Cocktails and Martinis, as well as an array of Beer, Wine and After Dinner Drinks.

Perhaps most "grand" of all is the on-premise bakery found at each Grand Lux Cafe. Recognizing that the very best desserts are those that are baked to order, this delicious European tradition was brought back to the States and is a hallmark of the Grand Lux Cafe experience.

Dinner is offered everyday and Lunch Specials are served daily until 5:00 p.m. with special Breakfast selections served Saturdays and Sundays until 2:00 p.m.

And there's another great new development for the Cherry Hill Mall: Henri Bendel arrives in August.

The Henri Bendel brand, still vibrant more than a century after its inception, continues to champion the spirit of the stores' visionary founder. It strives to always delight and serve fashionable women, to seek out the best of the New & the Next™ and to always experiment and innovate. 

The Bendel name is a major "get" for the Mall and marks the store's debut in South Jersey.

“We are proud to welcome Henri Bendel to the Cherry Hill Mall,” said Lisa Wolstromer, the mall’s senior marketing director. “Henri Bendel was the first to bring Coco Chanel to the United States and to hold a fashion show in New York. Having his store open at Cherry Hill Mall really reinforces our position as a leading fashion destination in the region, providing our shoppers with the best in upscale, high-fashion retail.”

Henri Bendel sells fashion accessories, cosmetics and fragrances, gifts and gourmet foods.

The Cherry Hill Mall has been attracting a series of new retailers since its redevelopment was annonced five years ago.
