Marshalls is opening a new shoe store at the Lake Success Shopping Plaza in New Hyde Park on Thursday.
The 9,024-square foot store is the fifth of its kind that the discount retail chain has opened in New York over the past two years, according to a Marshalls spokeswoman.
The store brings approximately 60 full-time and part-time jobs to the area.
The shoe store will carry designer footwear, along with a selection of handbags, accessories, such as sunglasses and wallets, and hair and beauty products.
The design of the store itself presents a departure from the Marshalls stores most shoppers have visited. The shoe store has displays of shoes organized by sizes as other stores do, but it also features flat screen televisions, oversized mirrors and ottomans for sitting, implicitly inviting shoppers to remain in the store for longer periods of time.
The store will open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on March 3, its grand opening day. Regular store hours will be 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
As part of its community relations initiative, Marshalls has created national and local partnerships with charitable organizations around the country by supporting Domestic Violence Prevention and The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
