Grossman’s Bargain Outlet is closing its store on Erie Boulevard in Schenectady and will open a new, larger store several miles away at Crosstown Plaza off Route 7 near Interstate 890.
The discount lumber and hardware chain signed a 10-year lease for 25,000 square feet in Crosstown Plaza where Sears Hardware was formerly located, said Alexander Kutikov, associate broker at Vanguard-Fine, LLC in Guilderland.
Sears closed at Crosstown Plaza in 2006. The shopping plaza is owned by Wade Lupe Cos. It's across the street from The Home Depot.

Perhaps things will pick up on Erie blvd once they make the other end look pretty. Ya know, kinda like they did on the 2 blocks of state st. Perhaps a nice gin mill will work at the old Grossmans. And how's the Paul Mitchell coming along?  |

I was always always assured that the Crosstown plaza area was a good bet, being so easy to get to and centrally located. |

 Gee, they didn't want to wait for more green space, traffic calming, new curbing and pedestrian friendly "improvements"? First of dozens of business to flee Erie Blvd before the coming mess. |

Compete with Home Depot? Totally different market, totally different business. You go to Grossman's to get good bargains on damaged, incomplete or less than perfect items...or just items taht are really really cheap...I wish them luck! |

Either way it will work for both companies. They will get business from eachother. Others who I have spoken to last night who own business in the city are unhappy about the Erie Blvd. changes. I, too, find them suspect. |

I think they may do better at crosstown plaza. That area brings more traffic and will make it more visual. There are tons of people that I know that went to that grossmans. And they probably still will. |

SCHENECTADY
Grossman’s Bargain Outlet relocating to Crosstown Plaza
Home improvement supplies dealer wants larger facility
BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter
Reach Gazette reporter Michael Lamendola at 395-3114 or lamend@dailygazette.com.
Grossman’s Bargain Outlet is relocating its Erie Boulevard store to a larger facility in Crosstown Plaza, a broker said Friday.
Grossman’s, an Erie Boulevard fixture for decades, will occupy 25,000 square feet of the former Sears Hardware store in the plaza sometime in early 2010, said Alex Kutikov, associate broker with Vanguard-Fine Retail Store Leasing.
He said Grossman’s has signed a 10-year lease for the space.
“They are taking the whole former Sears space and will put a new garden center in back. They will fence off an area on the side and behind the building for the garden center,” Kutikov said. Sears vacated the site in 2006.
The manager of the Grossman’s store on Erie Boulevard referred calls to the main office in Stoughton, Mass.
A company spokesman did not return a phone call for comment.
Kutikov said Vanguard approached Grossman’s several months ago about relocating to the plaza. Wade Lupe Co. owns the 215,000-square-foot plaza under the corporate name of Crosstown Plaza LLC. It hired Vanguard to market the site about a year ago. .............>>>>...............>>>>..............http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01101&AppName=1

You know the gazette, the cheerleaders for the left, will never print anything they deem negative. They apparently had no choice since the TU reported it first. |

The only way to get the truth out of the Gazetto is drag them kicking and screaming to a real story. This is a win-win. More sales, more sales tax revenue, more parking and it "revitalizes" the Crosstown Plaza. SOS will be overjoyed with another parking lot on his "high tech corridor". |
