The long empty Roosevelt Island store at 563 Main Street, formerly occupied by the old newstand, will soon have a brand new retail tenant.

Residents have been asking for a hardware store since one was evicted in 2014 but that wait is almost over.
According to a Hudson Related Spokesperson today:
I am happy to announce that the same ownership team as Wholesome Market, is now opening a Discount/Hardware store similar to a Lot-Less location.
They are currently fixturing the space and I will share an opening date as soon as I have one.
The new Discount/Hardware store makes the 4th Roosevelt Island store for the Wholesome ownership including the Market, Wine Store and Mexican Restaurant.
