Several locations were so-called "Korvette Cities," which included a 2-level department store, carpet & furniture store, supermarket, lawn & garden department and freestanding Tire City. The unit depicted here was located across East Route 4 from BERGEN MALL, in Paramus, New Jersey. Korvettes opened their Paramus store in February 1963.

An adjacent supermarket was one of the many features of a Korvette City.

A wide and varied Carpets and Rugs department would be part of a main store, or be in located in an adjacent structure.
