BFC Partners welcomes Verizon to Empire Outlets on Staten Island
Staten Island, NY According to BFC Partners, Verizon Wireless opened a new location inside Empire Outlets, the 350,000 s/f retail complex in the St. George neighborhood. The store opened in late October, just in time for the release of the newest iPhone 12.
“We are excited to add Verizon to our offerings at Empire Outlets and provide New Yorkers with one-stop shopping for their holiday purchases - from electronics to clothes, jewelry and more,” said Joseph Ferrara, principal of BFC Partners. “COVID has turned everyone’s holiday plans upside down, and we are thrilled to provide a safe, socially distant shopping experience to make things seem a little more normal.”
At the store, holiday shoppers will be able to pre-order and pick up devices, as well as browse the full suite of Verizon services.
The $1 billion redevelopment around St. George helped transform the borough into a new destination for locals and visitors alike. Empire Outlets boasts a variety of clothing, accessories, and health and wellness stores close to the Staten Island ferry.
