New stores opening at Destiny USA
Syracuse, N.Y. — Lots of tenants are shifting spots at Destiny USA and a few new stores are set to open.
Here's an update:
On the new tenant front, work is coming along on Nordstrom Rack. Rack, Nordstrom's off-price unit, is set to take up a huge chunk of space on the first level of Destiny's expansion section.
The barricades for the 33,000-square-foot store extend almost the entire length of one side of the corridor just off the Canyon. The retailer is swallowing up space once occupied by Tod's, which has closed, and Puma, along with some previously vacant space.
Puma moved and is now located in the spot that was home to Hickey Freeman until it closed earlier this year. Rack will be across from a number of Destiny's high-end outlets including Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo and Brooks Brothers.
It's set to open this fall.
Construction barricades are still up for Jared The Galleria too. It'll be right near Rack's new store on the expansion's first level. Also coming soon at Destiny is Threads, a men's and women's fashion and accessories store that will be located where Envy U and XSRE were on the second level of the expansion.
Via Roma, a menswear retailer, is set to open on the second level of the mall's older section where Cortefiel was located before it closed. That's between Ann Taylor and the Apple store. You know Deb, the mall stalwart, is out of business. But its space at Destiny wasn't empty long. Lane Bryant is moving in temporarily.
Lane Bryant's old location just down the hall is getting a facelift, which should wrap up by the end of June. The store will open in the temporary space Wednesday. Also on the move is Cooperstown Connection. It's moving to the former location of Ecko Unltd. on the expansion's second level. That's down the hall from its old spot near Chico's.
And Guitar Outlet moved from the expansion to the former location of Ruum, the childrenswear store, on the first level of Destiny's older section. No info from the mall yet on plans for the old Cooperstown and Guitar Outlet locations.
Two more: There's a new retailer, New York Fashions, open in the second-level connector between the mall's old and new sections on the Lord & Taylor side. And Toys R Us Express is opening soon on the second level of the older section near Banana Republic.
