NANUET, NY (May 2025) — In a transformative move signaling a new era for Rockland County retail and community life, The Shops at Nanuet has officially rebranded as Nanuet Town Centre. Under the new ownership of Nanuet Holdings DE LLC, which acquired the property on December 31, 2024, the rebrand marks a major step forward in redefining the space as a vibrant, multi-use destination that combines shopping, dining, entertainment, and residential living.

A Vision Beyond Retail: Welcome to Nanuet Town Centre

The rebranding is more than a name change—it reflects a bold new vision. Nanuet Town Centre is being developed as a dynamic, community-driven lifestyle hub, where visitors can do more than shop—they can connect, celebrate, and live.

“Our goal is to reimagine Nanuet Town Centre as more than a shopping destination,” said Keri Cunningham, Marketing Director of Nanuet Town Centre. “This is about creating a place where people gather, connect and experience something new—whether at a concert, during a lunch break, or while exploring what our businesses have to offer.”

Upgraded common areas that promote relaxation and community engagement

The transformation is also happening online, with a revamped website and active social media presence to promote events, new tenants, and community partnerships.
Signature Events Kick Off in Summer 2025

To reconnect with the community and bring new energy to the space, Nanuet Town Centre is launching a year-round calendar of events, beginning with a Grand Re-Opening Block Party on June 21 and 22. This event will feature:

Live music and performances

Interactive experiences and local vendors

Special promotions throughout the property

Additional 2025 events include:

Summer Festival with artisan markets, live demos, food and drinks, and family-friendly activities

Summer Picnic Series every Thursday (July 10–Aug 28), featuring Bubble Parties, Mini Golf, DJ Dance Parties, and more

Puppy Pals Live on September 13, an acrobatic dog show made famous by America’s Got Talent

Winter Weekend Events (Nov–Dec), including a Holiday Market, seasonal decor, and festive experiences for all ages

In a community-first initiative, the Centre will also open its event spaces free of charge to local nonprofits, empowering them to host fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and outreach programs throughout the year.
Exciting New Tenants Add to the Experience

Nanuet Town Centre is actively pursuing regional and national tenants known for delivering strong guest experiences. Two highly anticipated new arrivals include:

Golf Lounge 18 – A premier indoor golf and sports entertainment venue, featuring cutting-edge simulators for players of all skill levels

Karako Suits – A respected menswear brand with locations across New York and New Jersey, known for high-quality suits and expert tailoring

These openings bring fresh energy and foot traffic to the evolving retail and entertainment landscape.
Phase 2 Development: Nanuet Town Centre as a Mixed-Use Destination

As part of its long-term revitalization strategy, the property is preparing for Phase 2, which will include:

A complete facade redesign of the former Sears building

Luxury residential apartments for convenient, walkable living

Development of three standalone pad sites for new restaurants or services

A 1.25-mile walking trail to promote wellness and connectivity

A thoughtfully designed layout that balances community, commerce, and comfort

A New Standard for Community-Centered Development in Rockland County

Down to Earth Living Shares Expert Tips for Growing Healthy Roses in the Hudson Valley

Published

on

Roses may have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but gardening experts at Down to Earth Living say many modern varieties are easier to maintain and more disease-resistant than ever.

For healthy blooms, roses should be planted in areas that receive at least six hours of direct sunlight and have well-drained soil. Consistent deep watering, regular fertilization during the growing season, and seasonal pruning can help promote vigorous growth and continuous flowering.

Gardeners should also watch for common issues such as aphids, spider mites, black spot, and powdery mildew. Proper spacing between plants and watering at the base can help reduce disease, particularly during the humid summers common in the Hudson Valley.

In addition to growing roses, experts recommend adding pollinator-friendly plants such as bee balm, cardinal flower, honeysuckle, lantana, and salvia to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.

“With sunlight, water, nutrients, and care, roses provide months of color and fragrance,” said Stuart Leventhal, owner of Down to Earth Living. “Pairing them with hummingbird-friendly flowers creates a vibrant garden with continuous blooms and thriving wildlife.”

For La Casa Di Dolce owner Jaclyn Ryan-Henry, baking is more than a business—it is a way of preserving family traditions and sharing her Italian heritage with the Rockland County community.

Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Ryan-Henry has built a loyal following through authentic Italian baked goods crafted from recipes passed down through generations, including treasured family recipes from her Nonna.

Operating from her home bakery, La Casa Di Dolce offers a wide variety of traditional Italian specialties, including Cuccidati (Italian fig cookies), biscotti di casa, crostata, struffoli, bow tie cookies, seven-layer cookies, and seven-layer cakes. Customers can also choose from an assortment of modern dessert favorites, including cupcakes, cake pops, crumb cakes, sugar cookies, cake jars, and custom-designed layer cakes.

In addition to individual orders, Ryan-Henry provides catering services, party trays, and mobile dessert bars complete with dessert table setup and décor for weddings, birthdays, showers, and other special events.

One of the bakery’s most sought-after creations is its signature viral seven-layer pignoli cookie, a unique dessert that combines the flavors of traditional seven-layer cookies and pignoli cookies into one indulgent treat. The oversized cookie features a jam-filled center, almond-rich dough, pine nuts, and a chocolate-dipped finish.

Ryan-Henry is believed to be the first baker in the Tappan area to offer the seven-layer pignoli cookie as a permanent menu item, helping the specialty dessert gain popularity among local customers and Italian pastry enthusiasts.

Due to high demand, customers are encouraged to place orders in advance, particularly for specialty and signature items.

By blending old-world recipes with modern entrepreneurship, Ryan-Henry continues to provide authentic Italian baked goods while creating a gathering place for celebrations, family traditions, and community connections throughout Rockland County.
