Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc. recently opened 11 stores at The Galleria, adding 50,000 square feet of total retail space to the downtown White Plains shopping mall.
Newly opened are a Vans, Zumiez, Stride Rite, P.S. from Aéropostale, Famous Footwear, Rue 21 and Garage, a Montreal-based clothing story for teenage girls. Blink Fitness, Verizon Wireless, iFix and Repair, and The Linen Closet are also among the new stores. The indoor mall has 130 specialty stores and several big-box stores including Sears, Macy’s and H&M.
H&M will build a second level, adding 30,000 square feet of space and a wider selection of men and women’s clothing.
The Galleria at 100 Main St. in White Plains has “worked extremely hard to attract impact tenants to all four levels of the mall,” said Justin Stein, leasing representative for Simon Property Group’s Northeast Region, in a written statement. “As a result of that effort, shoppers will find all their desired brands under one roof.”
By the end of the year, The Galleria will announce two more merchants, said Irene Taub, spokeswoman at  Ryan & Ryan PR Inc. “Leases are still being finalized,” so those names won”™t be announced until that process is complete, she added.
