Back to EpisodesThe Westchester Brief | 03.25.26: Neiman Marcus Is Closing — What It Means for White Plains
Description
Neiman Marcus at The Westchester in White Plains closes in May — not because demand dried up, but because Saks Global's $2.65 billion debt load collapsed. Meanwhile, UNIQLO just opened, DeCicco's launched in Sleepy Hollow, and Cross County is building a park. The story is not that retail is dying in Westchester. It is that retail is changing. Plus: Mariachi Mexico closes, DeCicco's opens in Sleepy Hollow, and Blueprint '26 takes shape.
