Hobby Lobby, America’s largest and most complete arts-and-crafts retailer, will be opening its first store in New York City, and Katz & Associates’ Brian Katz and Daniel DePasquale helped secure the location along with Graeme Keith of The Keith Corp. The new 42,768 square foot store will be located in the former Babies“R” Us space at The Crossing on the Staten Island Mall Ring Road. Alex Varon of Brookfield Properties represented the landlord in-house in the transaction. Hobby Lobby is slated to open in Staten Island in Q1 2023.
