Retailer Expansion plans 2010
I came across this article last week about which retailers are planning to expand in the US this year and how many stores.
http://retailindustry.about.com/od/statisticsresearch/a/2010_us_retail_industry_store_openings.htm
Kohls is listed at 50
Lowes is listed at 45
Target is listed at 128
Someone from the NR IDA should consider attending the ICSC Las Vegas convention this year. It is May 23rd-25th and would serve as a total immersion into the retailing industry. They could stop by the Kohls and Target booths and try to glean some insight for New Rochelle’s prospects.

Might be worth the trip.
