More in Openings & Closings
Regular subjects here include grand openings, expansions into new sites, chain-wide closures, and long-running shops that close after years in business. Coverage reaches downtown, the neighborhood commercial strips and the suburbs around the city wherever a storefront change crosses the line. Closures are often reported in the same breath as the replacement tenant, so the two stories tend to travel together. Lease costs, foot traffic and shifting consumer habits are the forces most often behind a Syracuse storefront change.
