The Atlantic County Fire Marshal tells WMGM TV  the fire broke out  around 6:30AM and was put out quickly.  Emergency crews used exhaust fans to vent the store and other areas of the mall using exhaust fans.

WCAU TV reports the fire started in a cash register which tripped the store's sprinkler system.
