RETAILER STRIKE!
November 18, 2009
Last night, at Hill Country on W. 26th retailers discussed expansion plans, presented concepts, and discussed operations at an ICSC Next Generation program. Bruegger's Bagels’ Holland Burton, Subway’s Wayland Benbow, and Muscle Maker Grill’s Art Gunther (here with Cushman & Wakefield’s Carl Wunderlich) joined Hill Country’s Marc Glosserman, Goodburger’s Tom Gallis, and LDV Hospitality’s Curt Huegel on the panel. (Fun fact: Subway restaurants are soon going to surpass McDonald’s in store count.) |
Curt Huegel, right, celebrates the lease signing of Lenny’s 15th location at Sherwood Equities’ 370 Lexington with Newmark Knight Frank’s Paul Berkman and Davie Berke, who brokered the deal. LDV Hospitality is also opening another Lenny’s at One Penn Plaza, neighboring its Lugo’s, Local West, and Lucy’s brands. |
ICSC Next Generation committee members: (standing) Time Equities’Ami Ziff, Ripco Real Estate’s Brad Cohen, National Realty & Development Co.’s Dovid Spector, Jimmy Jazz’s Jason Richter, Sperry Van Ness’ Neil Golub (sitting) Brooke Auberry, Pryor Cashman’s Andrea Gendel, and Carl Wunderlich. The group is gearing up for ICSC’s New York National Conference, which will be held at the Hilton on Dec 7-8, and Andrea says they’re looking for more up-and-comers to join the group for networking and education. |
