OLD BRIDGE, NJ–Dollar Tree has signed four new leases in New Jersey, brokered by R.J. Brunelli.

In Orange, the chain signed for an 11,000-square-foot space in a center at 557 Main St. Dollar Tree will occupy an end-cap space that formerly housed Karl's Appliances, which relocated elsewhere in the center. In East Orange, Dollar Tree signed a lease for a 12,682-square-foot space that previously housed a hardware store, at 352 Central Ave.  In Wayne, Dollar Tree leased a 9,400-square-foot end-cap unit in a 29,000-square-foot center at 172 Mountain Blvd., directly across from New Jersey Transit's Mountain View –Wayne train station.  The store in Wayne is projected to open in January 2016, followed by East Orange in March and Orange in July.

Dollar Tree's latest southern New Jersey location will be in Bridgeton, where the company's preferred developer, Elcan & Associates, acquired a 9,040-square-foot freestanding building at 399 East Broad St. that was formerly occupied by another dollar store. The Bridgeton store is projected to debut this September.

All four deals were brokered by R.J. Brunelli senior vice president/principal Danielle Brunelli-Albrecht, who also represented Dollar Tree on leases completed during the first half of 2015 for locations in Washington Borough and Florence, NJ.  Brunelli-Albrecht co-brokered the East Orange deal with sales associate Nick DeLuca, the Orange deal with sales associate Alan Gott, and the Wayne deal with sales associate Patti Fiore.

Brunelli-Albrecht also represented the landlord in a deal that will bring Dollar Tree to a 13,500-square-foot freestanding building at 1118 Edgemont Ave. in Chester, PA.  The space was previously occupied by a sneaker store. An October 2015 opening is projected.
