Growth warrants move, executive says
Kensington carpet and furniture store plans expansion program
NORTHFEELD - Kensington,
South Jersey's largest home
furnishings center has announced
plans for a proposed
30,000square foot addition to its
Tilton Rd. structure. The
proposed expansion announcement
comes at a time
when the firm is about to
celebrate its 66th anniversary
year in South Jersey.
The architectural concept
will link the existing 135,000
square foot store and
warehouse at one end with a
new 15,000 square-foot Ethan
Allen "Showcase" store at the
other end via three new
specialty shops, each
measuring 5,000 square feet.
When completed, the 165,000
square feet of "under-roof"
space will still only comprise 33
percent of the total Kensington
land area, thus continuing the
"open space" environmental
effect of the original buildings.
The plan also employs an
attractive "step-back" configuration
which will relieve the
often-monotonous straight-line,
wall-and-windows design. The
new structure will also continue
the red brick front of the
existing store.
Another design feature will
make each of the five units
accessible individually from
the front, as well as to each
other by means of an interior
walkway.
In announcing the expansion
plans, Stanley M. Grossman, a
member of the founder's
family, said, "Aside from the
gaming industry forecasts,
feasibility studies we have seen
show all signals at 'go' due to
natural economic and

OCEAN CITY
Preliminary drawing of Kensington structure.
4th Annual Crop Walk is scheduled
On Saturday, October 7,
concerned people of Ocean City
will participate in the 4th Annual
CROP Walk on the
boardwalk from 7 a.m. until
noon.
Because millions of women
walk many miles everyday just
to get water for their families;
because refugees walk toward
an unknown future, their
meagre possessions across
their backs; because the only
medical care in many parts of
the world is one or two days
away by foot; that's why these
interested people are walking.
Anyone interested in participating
may sign up on
Sunday mornings, September
21 and October 1, at any of
seven local participating
churches: St. John's Lutheran,
St. Frances Cabrlni, St.
Augustine's, Our Lady of Good
Counsel, St. James A.M.E.
First United Methodist and
Macedonia United Methodist.
