Toms River: There’s new life to be found at the Ocean County Mall where Sears used to be. Today marks the Grand Opening of Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea right outside the new entrance by the lifestyle center. If Starbucks isn’t your thing, now you have an alternative for beverages while visiting the mall. The restaurant has indoor seating for when that ever becomes an option again, and a small patio for outdoor enjoyment.

Sweetwaters joins Five Below and LA Fitness as tenants that have opened in the new section. Of course, LA Fitness is currently closed, but they moved to the mall from Seacourt Pavilion. Also under construction in the new center is a HomeSense and ULTA Beauty.
