(MOUNT VERNON, NY / The Journal) — Bed Bath and Beyond has released a list of its namesake stores which will close or have closed already in 2020. The highest count of stores from 19 states and Washington, DC is five in both California (Chino Hills, Encino, Hemet, Santa Clarita, Tracy) and Texas (Austin, Harlingen, and three in Houston). The locations on the list in New York do not include the Mount Vernon store on East Sandford Boulevard, however, but two of the three are in the New York City metropolitan area (Bronx's 610 Exterior Street and West Nyack's 1406 Palisades Center Drive located at the Palisades Center mall), and the third location is in the town of Cheektowaga in Erie County close to the border with Canada.
Our local store is part of a small shopping center next to historic Memorial Field. Constructed in 2004 by G&S Investors as a $45 million project and sold in 2006 to GDC Properties and sold again (we kid you not) to its current owner Ginsburg Development Companies in 2014. By the way, GDC Properties owns hotels and commercial centers in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, but was spun off in 1994 from the Ginsburg Development Companies which were started by brothers Samuel and Martin Ginsburg. (Samuel was the brother who striked out on his own.)
It looks like Bed Bath and Beyond's presence in Mount Vernon is still assured in the meantime and while its fellow stores in our areas will be closing, its location near the Hutchinson River Parkway on the border with Pelham and close to the Bronx is still a great place to shop. NBC's TODAY show has the full list of Bed Bath and Beyond store closings.
