The toy giant makes its Capital Region comeback!

The first of many, we hope

The Britain-based chain owns four theaters in and around Albany.

Thanks to a seemingly unlikely partnership, a once-great toy giant is looking to make a comeback across Upstate New York and the rest of the country.

It seems like we may never get a Costco in the Capital Region. The plans have been submitted and construction was supposed to begin but there are a lot of residents and a non-profit that have raised concerns. Just recently there was another meeting, this time in front of an appeals panel.

There is a specialty store inside Crossgates Mall that has only been open for a little over a year and will close toward the end of this month. It is a concept store one of only two in New York state and one of thirty in the country. The Amazon 4-Star store will close on March 19th.

It has been a busy month of news regarding stores at Crossgates Mall and some more changes are coming.
