Morris Stores: 413-419 Main Street/1-23 New Street, Metuchen, NJ
NEAR TRAIN STATION
413-419 Main Street/1-23 New Street was constructed from the early part of the twentieth century to 1972 as a series of buildings. The buildings became a single building under the ownership of Morris Zuts who operated the Morris Stores department store with his brothers from 1928 until 1994. Morris Stores was the anchor for Main Street, where generations bought their clothing.
Nassau Development II, L.P., an affiliate of U.S. Real Estate Acquisitions, L.L.C., purchased the building in 1995, gutted it and created the 6 apartments and 7 retail spaces which are occupied by: (i) Silvia's Tailor Shop; (ii) Brewed Awakening; (iii) The Greek on Main; (iii) Nauti Crab; (iv) Sushi Suzuki; (v) Black Belt Institute Karate; (vi) Newmarket; and (vii) Mariachi Restaurant.
The facade facing New Street has the "Together" mural by Steve Powers which was installed by the Metuchen Downtown Alliance Public Art Team.
The building is just steps from the Metuchen train station with easy access North to New York City and Newark, and South to Princeton and Trenton. There is also easy access to the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, Route 287 and Route 1.
Morris Stores is in the heart of Downtown Metuchen with stores, restaurants, pubs, hair salons, dry cleaners, fitness studios and nail salons.
