TOWN OF WALLKILL – The Sears store in the Galleria at Crystal Run
will be closing in the spring as the company did not renew its lease with
the Town of Wallkill shopping center.
While the large store is an anchor to the mall, Town Supervisor Daniel
Depew believes its departure could pave the way for bigger and better
opportunities.
“With the casino coming just north of us and with potentially Legoland
just south of us, the Town of Wallkill is only going to continue to be
a real hot location for retail and commerce, so by Sears kind of lagging
behind other retailers in the past few years, freeing up an open piece
of real estate like that; I think there is a great opportunity for us,”
he said.
Depew said another upscale retailer that is not represented in the market
would be a good fit for the space.
