Old Navy opening 2 more stores on Long Island

Two more Old Navy stores will open on Long Island.

The clothing and accessories retailer will open a store in Farmingdale on Oct. 28 and one in Shirley in early February, an Old Navy spokeswoman said.

The stores will each have an average of 30 to 40 employees, she said.

Old Navy’s Farmingdale store will occupy a 12,916-square-foot space in Airport Plaza that Sunrise Credit Services vacated in August 2022, said Chris Ostrowski, spokesman for Kimco Realty Corp., the Jericho-based company that owns the shopping center.

Located on Route 110 at Conklin Street, Airport Plaza is a 449,684-square-foot shopping center whose tenants include a Stew Leonard’s supermarket, T.J. Maxx, Staples, The Home Depot and PetSmart.

The Old Navy planned for Shirley will occupy 15,077 square feet at 1019 Montauk Hwy., which was formerly occupied by Modell's Sporting Goods, in the South Port Shopping Center, said Ken Simon, vice president of real estate at New Jersey-based Heidenberg Properties Group, which owns the shopping center through an affiliate.

Tenants in the 303,228-square-foot shopping center include a Stop & Shop supermarket, Kohl’s, Marshalls and Michaels.

Owned by San Francisco-based Gap Inc., Old Navy has about 1,250 stores in the United States and Canada.

There currently are 14 Old Navy stores on Long Island, including locations in Commack, Hempstead, Lake Grove and Riverhead.

An approximately 17,000-square-foot Old Navy in the Broadway Commons shopping mall in Hicksville closed in June.
