Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, Nassau County, occupies a structurally unusual position within the Long Island retail landscape, combining an enclosed regional mall with an adjacent power-centre campus that includes Walmart, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Aldi, and PetSmart alongside the enclosed mall anchored by Macy’s and Burlington. The resulting property functions as both a conventional comparison-shopping destination and a warehouse and grocery hub, generating daily-need traffic from across the south Nassau catchment that is atypical for an enclosed regional mall.
The entertainment offer includes Launch Entertainment Park, an indoor trampoline and activities complex, which drives family visit occasions independent of retail shopping. The dining circuit covers BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, and Shake Shack. Dick’s Sporting Goods, JD Sports, Foot Locker, and SNIPES anchor the athletic category. The fashion register runs through H and M, Primark, Old Navy, and a broad mid-market complement.
The Valley Stream catchment spans southeastern Nassau County, including Valley Stream, Elmont, Lynbrook, and Malverne, alongside the adjacent southeastern Queens communities of Laurelton, Rosedale, and Springfield Gardens, a combined trade area of approximately 300,000 residents. The Green Acres Road exit from the Belt Parkway provides the primary car access. The Valley Stream LIRR station on the Long Beach and West Hempstead branches provides rail connectivity from Penn Station and the Jamaica hub.
Green Acres Mall serves the value-and-convenience market function in Nassau County that Roosevelt Field and Smith Haven do not address, drawing from a different consumer segment and visit occasion. The Walmart, BJ’s, and grocery anchor combination generates a daily-need mission that sustains non-discretionary traffic in a way that the premium-focused enclosed malls to the north cannot replicate. For brands in the value, off-price, and accessible fashion categories evaluating Nassau County, Green Acres provides coverage of the southern Nassau and southeastern Queens consumer without the income-skewed profile of the North Shore malls.
Sit-down dining at the property includes Fogo de Chão, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings and The Cheesecake Factory. Quick options include Charley's Philly Steak, Chipotle, Panda Express, Panera Bread and Popeyes.
Yes. 24 Hour Fitness operates at the property.
