It appears that there may be some truth to the rumors that a new store will be taking over part of the old JCPenney store at Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing.

A few weeks ago, word began to spread online that Shoppers World, a chain of discount department stores, was going to move into the now-vacant JCPenney store at the mall. We reached out to Shoppers World for comment but did not get a response, however, now hanging in the door of the lower level entrance to that store is a sign that says Shoppers World is hiring. One step further, Hamilton Mall's website now has a Shoppers World page.

Rumors also say that Shoppers World was only moving into the lower level of the store and that seems to be the case as workers were seen inside Thursday morning downstairs while the upper floor remained dark. Apparently, the escalator between the floors has been removed.
