HAZLET, NJ — Hazlet Town Center has announced four new retail leases at the regional shopping center on Route 35.

Urban Air Adventure Park, Bubbakoo’s Burritos, CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice and AT&T Wireless are coming to the site, the company said. Urban Air, a trampoline and adventure park, is expected to open in the beginning of 2023, a company spokesperson said.

Pierson Commercial is the leasing agent for the 203,912-square-foot shopping center.

“Within a short period of time, Hazlet Town Center has been transformed into a high-profile lifestyle and experiential services destination," said Gregg Medvin, vice president of Pierson Commercial.

“Anchored by recent tenant additions of Burlington and Aldi, which book-end Urban Air, the shopping center appeals to a diverse slate of tenants, from national and local service providers to medical, fitness and restaurant providers,” he said.

In addition to the latest leasing activity, Panera’s indoor/outdoor dining with a drive-thru location and Bubbakoo’s Burritos at the center’s northwest corner recently opened. Construction is expected to begin on the pad at the northeast corner for a Wawa convenience store and fueling station.
