Lord & Taylor Garden City Store Reveals Grand Renovations

GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK; NOVEMBER 16, 2016 – Lord & Taylor recently revealed the grand renovations of its Garden City, Long Island store, one of the company’s earliest branch locations. The department store announced its full plans to modernize and update the shopping experience in Garden City earlier this year, and the renovations were unveiled during a celebration party on November 9, 2016.

“Lord & Taylor is delighted to be updating our footprint on Long Island where we have a long history and loyal customers,” said Liz Rodbell, president, Lord & Taylor and Hudson’s Bay. “Elevating the design of Garden City will allow Lord & Taylor to better serve the community and deliver an exciting experience to customers for years to come.”

The Garden City renovation touched all areas of the two-level, freestanding building. Both floors received upgrades to flooring, lighting, and fitting rooms. Call buttons have been added to the fitting rooms, connecting to associates headsets, allowing customers to receive assistance quickly. The store now has a more intuitive flow, new finishes, and upgraded services. In addition to a new men’s environment on the upper level, the cosmetics area on the lower level has been enlarged and enhanced with a new spa room and several new brands, including Flawless by Friday, Brow Gal and Fillerina. There is also a Rebecca Minkoff pop-up shop on the lower level.

The renovation exposed the building’s original exterior windows, as well as an atrium inside of the main entrance, offering the store more natural light, while honoring its midcentury heritage. The exterior of the building also has the new, modernized Lord & Taylor logo.

To elevate our service and allow for a more seamless shopping experience, Lord & Taylor added two personal shoppers, one to assist with men’s and the other to assist with all shopping needs. Lastly, Sarabeth’s at Lord & Taylor Garden City received a modern makeover as well.

Founded in 1826, Lord & Taylor is the oldest department store in the United States and one of the country’s premier retailers. It has built its reputation on offering high-quality fashion apparel and accessories, exciting store environments, and seamless service. Lord & Taylor operates 50 full-line locations primarily in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S., four outlet locations, and lordandtaylor.com.
