Artisan retailer World Market returning to Bergen County with new store at Paramus mall
Food and decor chain World Market will return to Bergen County, with a new location at the Bergen Town Center mall in Paramus.
The San Francisco-based chain offers furniture, artisan décor, food and drinks from around the world. It has signed a long-term lease with Bergen Town Center and will replace the Neiman Marcus Last Call store, mall owner Urban Edge Properties announced this week.
A previous World Market location at the Fashion Center mall off Route 17 closed a few years ago.
The new store will be on Bergen Town Center's ground level, facing Route 4, and will be next to its covered parking garage.
'Unique artisan goods' from around the world
“World Market is a terrific tenant to join the gift and home lineup at Bergen Town Center,” said Leigh Lyons, a senior vice president at Urban Edge Properties. “A popular store of this size will draw new customers to the property, where they’ll find many choices and complementary shops.”
The chain "continues to search the world for unique artisan goods and handicrafts, international food favorites and design inspiration for furniture and home décor," said the Urban Edge statement. The addition will expand the mall’s selection of gifts and décor, joining HomeGoods, Marshalls, Burlington and Target, the news release said.

When will World Market open?
The mall hasn’t announced an official opening date beyond saying World Market will open sometime this year.
Formerly known as Cost Plus World Market, the chain was owned by Bed, Bath & Beyond until the subsidiary was sold in 2021. World Market also has New Jersey locations in Woodland Park, Livingston and Shrewsbury.
Correction: Based on information from Bergen Town Center and World Market, a prior version of this story incorrectly stated that this would be the first World Market in Bergen County and also omitted the chain's two other North Jersey locations.
