Spectrum Debuts New Essex Crossing Store on Grand Street
Essex Crossing wouldn’t be complete without yet another big-box retailer, living up to the shopping mall persona many in the neighborhood always anticipated. The latest to plant a flag is Spectrum, which is sandwiched between Target and Trader Joe’s at The Rollins mixed-use development.
Carrying the address of 396 Grand Street, this is the ninth overall store in Manhattan for the cable provider. And it’s the last retail space available in this complex.
What you see is what you get. A place to buy, return, or exchange equipment. Or to bitch about Spectrum’s sub-par product.
The Spectrum store is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00am to 8:00pm, and Sunday, 12:00pm to 5:00pm.
