Kumon North America is set to expand its presence in Mercer County after completing a nearly 1,400-square-foot lease in Hamilton, according to Lee & Associates New Jersey.
The operator, the world’s largest after-school education company, is taking 1,381 square feet at 911 Route 33, under a lease with Carannate LLC. Its new home is a corner unit previously occupied by an ice cream shop, offering quick access to Interstate 295.
“This lease speaks to the fact that educational retail is still very active, despite the pandemic,” said Kyle Janoczkin of Lee & Associates New Jersey, who represented Kumon in the five-year lease. “Parents will continue to prioritize their children’s education, whether in-person or through the use of technology, and Kumon’s new location will continue to provide the highest level of service to develop the potential of their students.”
