New shopping and dining options are on the calendar for 2025 at Roosevelt Field. From clothing stores for fashion fixes and a jewelry boutique for a bit of sparkle to adventurous game-room experiences and upscale street food, the upcoming lineup adds to the already diverse mix of stores and eateries at the Uniondale mall.

Variety is the spice of life — and shopping complexes. The mall’s rich array of shops is a key attraction for Elissa Brennick, 61, a retired sportswear buyer who lives in Bellmore. "Because of the proximity to my home, and the variety of stores they have, Roosevelt Field is always my go-to," she says. "I like that it has a vast mix for all types of fashion as well as budgets."

Curating a "broad and dynamic spectrum of tenants" to attract different segments of shoppers — Gen Z to boomers and beyond — is key to a mall’s success, according to Dinesh Gauri, a professor of marketing at the University at Buffalo. That translates to a mix of "luxury and everyday youth brands," he adds.

New additions at Roosevelt Field are a reminder that physical retail accounts for the majority of business. "About 80% of shopping is still done in stores," says Gauri. "We just like shopping and touching and feeling a product. You don’t get all that online setting."

Like most consumers, Brennick shops online and in stores. "I like brick-and-mortar shopping to familiarize myself with a certain brand or label," she says. "Once I have the gist of it, then I feel much more confident if I need to place an order online."

At Roosevelt Field, recent openings include footwear and accessories designer Kurt Geiger and the health and beauty shop Sokushi Mart, which marks the brand’s first U.S. location.

Here’s a look at stores that are coming in the new year. Between the mix of merchandise and price points, there’s something new in store for everyone.
