I saw them taking the signs off the front of the store a few days ago. Pretty sure it's gone now

Yes drove past it today. It's closed and says they moved to the old toys r us in Rockaway. Store still looked stocked and the lights were on, saw a few people walk up and not be able to walk in.

Not a surprise - every time I went in there it was a ghost town.

It’s not a ghost town around here. Party city is closing stores all over. They have an outdated retail business model.

"This area is a ghost town" are just typical uninformed nonsensical internet troll responses made by trolls in order to keep up their quota as mandated by membership in the Internet Troll Society! LOL.

Hey it works, it got 3 responses including mine!


The rent in that complex along with the one in mt olive with the old a&p are out of control. Agreed party city has a very outdated business model


Just went to Rockaway Mall. Party City is open in the old Toys R Us Store.


So where do we get our birthday balloons now? I always got a bunch of balloons and a birthday card there for everyone's birthday. Ugh.

Shop Rite or Weis? They sell balloons and birthday cards.

it’s been roughly 20 years since I’ve been to party city. Maybe I am partying the wrong way. I don’t know.

I didn't even think of Shoprite. I guess I won't miss Party City as much as I thought.

Can't recall ever having been in a Party City. Just never had much need for balloons or themed paper products.

Wasn't there a party store in the mall across the street?

Party Box in Lodi back in the mid-90s was like the last party store I was in. Nowadays no one I know really cares about themes, streamers, or decorations. Now if Bottle King went out of business...

The Dollar store hasn’t had helium in months

Um, not a troll. Just disillusioned by Warren County and the isolation, plus the mass exodus of stores, which require major mileage to go to.

And yes, looking to move.

They moved? Wait...what? But all the experts said they closed due to a bad business model. Lol. They may have a bad business model i have no idea. But relocating to a better location and possibly better rent terms is smart. No?

The $store was blowing up balloons last week. BTW, Birthday cards 2/$1 = best deal in town,


Dollar Store is definitely the go-to for balloons. As for Party City, their corporate headquarters is located in Rockaway so maybe a better deal on rent?

Even though they moved, it’s better than going the way of chains like Payless which closed up for good.

Ever since the carriage industry and the springs on Schooley’s mountain closed down the town just hasn’t been able to bounce back.

I just bought helium balloons at the Dollar Tree today. They had a sign up saying no helium, but lady said that they now have it.

I have heard for awhile that there is a global helium shortage. Mylar and latex balloons aren’t the best for the environment. Let’s just send flowers and eat cupcakes...

Anyone have any idea where to have a couple balloons filled?


Dollar store

The Dollar Tree won't fill outside balloons, the Dollar Mart in the old A & P plaza at the top of the mountain will! Or you can buy a cheap tank at Walmart for $30. It lasts forever too.
