Retailer to Relocate Within Chelsea
New York, NY – Robert K. Futterman & Associates (RKF), the nation’s leading independent real estate firm specializing in retail leasing, investment sales and consulting services, is pleased to announce that it has secured a 1,800-square-foot retail space for GNC at 205 Eighth Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets in Chelsea. GNC, the leading specialty retailer of nutritional products, is relocating from its current location at 265 Eighth Avenue.
RKF Executive Vice Executive President Ariel Schuster and Director Greg Covey represented GNC in this transaction. Building ownership, Francemen 205 LLC, was represented in-house by Aaron Schwartz.
"GNC wanted to maintain its presence in the neighborhood and continue to service its loyal customer base," said Schuster. "205 Eighth Avenue allows them to achieve those objectives in a location that is convenient for its customers."
GNC needed to relocate as Dallas BBQ exercised its option to expand into GNC's current space at 265 Eighth Avenue. The new store at 205 Eighth Avenue is anticipated to open in second quarter 2010.
Eighth Avenue in Chelsea is home to dozens of national and local retailers and restaurants catering to the neighborhood's dense residential population. Area retailers include Rite Aid, American Apparel, Starbucks, Gristedes, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Lasagna Restaurant, Spice and Better Burger.
