Cedar Knolls Plaza offers a mix of shopping options, including Walmart and the One Dollar Zone, which are popular for their good selection and friendly staff. The store environment is generally clean, and curbside pickups are prompt. However, the plaza itself appears somewhat run-down, with many abandoned or unrented buildings giving it an outdated look. Parking and traffic can be challenging due to frequent groups and homeless individuals in the parking lot, which can impact the shopping experience. Service at certain departments, like electronics and jewelry, has been reported as slow and unhelpful at times. Overall, it functions well for quick shopping trips, but the aesthetic and atmosphere could benefit from improvements to enhance visitor experience.
