As the retail sector adapts to evolving consumer behaviors, Cross County Center continues to lead as a cornerstone of economic activity in Yonkers. With the addition of new national retailers and the return of high-impact seasonal events, the center is reinforcing its position as both a major shopping destination and a vital contributor to the city’s economic growth.
This fall, Cross County Center expands its tenant mix with the openings of CAVA, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Levi’s, and a Spirit Halloween pop-up store. These new retailers support the center’s strategy to deliver a well-rounded mix of experiential, lifestyle, and family-oriented offerings that serve local demand and draw regional visitors.
CAVA, the Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant, will open a 2,180 sq. ft. space with indoor and outdoor seating. Its customizable menu and community-focused brand are expected to attract strong customer interest and complement the center’s existing dining options.
Build-A-Bear Workshop brings an interactive 1,917 sq. ft. retail experience where guests create personalized stuffed animals—enhancing Cross County Center’s appeal as a family destination.
The new Levi’s® Store, at 3,343 sq. ft., offers the latest denim styles in a digitally integrated, modern retail space that reflects the brand’s evolving customer experience strategy.
The return of Spirit Halloween further positions the center as a timely, relevant shopping destination that meets seasonal needs.
These additions build on Cross County Center’s strong legacy in Yonkers. Its open-air format, diverse tenant lineup, and free parking—paired with its strategic location at the crossroads of I-87 and the Cross County Parkway—make it one of the most accessible and consistently high-performing retail destinations in Westchester County.
Beyond retail, Cross County Center continues to foster community engagement through large-scale events. This October, the popular Oktoberfest returns October 11–12 (rain date October 18–19), with live music, dancing, games, drinks, food, and fun for all ages. Enjoy local beers from Yonkers Brewing Co., grilled brats, pretzels with mustard, and more for purchase. Their annual Halloween Spooktacular follows on October 25, providing a festive and safe trick-or-treating experience throughout the center.Â
With more than 80 specialty stores and restaurants—including Target, Macy’s, Zara, H&M, Shake Shack, Victoria’s Secret, and Hyatt Place Hotel—Cross County Center attracts over 14 million visitors annually. Its ongoing investment in retail, infrastructure, and public programming reinforces its role as a driver of local employment, commerce, and civic pride.
