YORKTOWN—The Yorktown Green Shopping Center recently celebrated a new addition with the opening of T.J. Maxx. The retailer now occupies part of the defunct Kmart store at the shopping center, which is undergoing a revival.

New retailers, such as: Five Below, Michaels, and a pickleball sports center are set to open soon within the former Kmart’s footprint at 335 Downing Drive.

“Yorktown is thriving, and people are making big investments,” said Yorktown Supervisor Ed Lachterman. “This brings jobs to our residents, and thanks to the mall’s owner—Oster Properties—for investing in our community.”

The shopping center began its revival in 2022 when Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace moved into a former Food Emporium that sat vacant for 10 years.

“These businesses are going to bring more people into our community to eat at our local restaurants and shop at our local stores,” said Councilman Sergio Esposito.

As part of its grand opening on Nov. 7, T.J. Maxx presented a $10,000 donation to My Brother Vinny, a Yorktown-based charity that provides furniture and housewares to formerly homeless veterans, outreach groups, shelters and families throughout the Hudson Valley. Paula Miritello of My Brother Vinny said that the donation will help buy supplies. The charity has furnished more than 2,000 homes for veterans free of charge.

“We are the only charity in New York that has furnished homes for homeless veterans,” said Miritello. “We do not get enough support to cover the need, so this came at a perfect time.”
