Gap Factory Coming To Long Island Shopping Center

COMMACK, NY — A new Gap Factory store is set to open in the Mayfair Shopping Center in Commack, Levin Management Corporation (LMC) announced.

The business is set to open within the Jericho Turnpike retail property. There is no set opening timeframe at this point, an LMC spokesperson told Patch.

LMC serves as the exclusive leasing and managing agent for Mayfair Shopping Center. E.J. Moawad, LMC senior leasing representative, arranged the 12,800-square-foot Gap Factory lease on behalf of property ownership, while Michael Friedman of Inline Realty represented the tenant.

Gap Inc. previously housed a Gap store in the Mayfair Shopping Center. Gap Factory, which offers an exclusive assortment of affordable, casual-chic clothing for men, women, children and babies, will mark the company's return to the shopping center.

"Over the past several years, Mayfair Shopping Center has attracted a dynamic, relevant tenant mix that blends fashion, fitness, lifestyle and entertainment — with the goal to align the property’s offerings with the expectations and lifestyles of today’s shoppers," Moawad said in a news release. "The Gap Factory lease is a direct result of this evolution and provides a strong endorsement of the property as one of Long Island’s most desirable retail destinations."

Gap Factory continues a string of recent additions to the center. This spring, Kids Empire and My Gym signed commitments.

Gap Factory joins an increasingly fashion-focused tenant lineup that includes J.Crew Factory, Loft, Jos. A. Bank and PGA TOUR Superstore, which also features a large apparel section. National retailers Lidl, Planet Fitness and Sephora "further bolster the shopping center’s broad appeal," alongside a variety of dining options, specialty shops and service providers, according to LMC.

The property serves a growing population of more than 209K residents within a five-mile radius and draws 2.3 million annual visitors, according to Placer.ai.

LMC is currently marketing Mayfair Shopping Center’s final availabilities: two adjacent in-line spaces of 3,480 and 2,430 square feet.
