With the shuttering of Sears, 170,000 square feet were available for redevelopment. Connecticut's Stew Leonard's, a supermarket chain known for its costumed staff and animatronic farm animals, signed on to open a store in the old Sears lower level.

In a circa-2020 PARAMUS PARK plan, we see the configuration of the new supermarket. Encompassing 79,400 square feet, it opened for business in September 2019. The plan was to also reconfigure the upper floor of the former Sears building as a Regal 12-plex, which would be the first motion picture theater to ever operate in the mall. This project was eventually abandoned.
