Anecdotally, I have never seen anyone in my neighborhood carrying a bag from the Nuts Factory. According to the report, a few kinds of retailers made gains this year: package delivery chains like the UPS and FedEx Office, non-burger fast food chains like Popeye's and Taco Bell, dessert spots like Baskin-Robbins and Insomnia Cookies, coffee chains like Starbucks and Joe Coffee, and a handful of clothing stores, like Claire's, Intimissimi, and Alo, all added new locations in the city in 2023.īut one chain business that the report highlights as gaining ground stands out above the rest, because it's weird and because I live near one of its locations-the Nuts Factory, a retailer that sells nuts, candies, spice blends, dried fruits, granola, and coffee and tea, some pre-packaged and some in scoopable containers for bulk purchasing. It's not bleak for every chain in the game, though. Cell phone companies like T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and AT&T, in addition to pharmacies like Rite Aid took the biggest hits, per the report, and the city's eight largest chain retailers all have fewer locations in the city now than they did in 2019, pre-COVID. According to the report, which was released December 12, this year saw a 3.1 percent decline in the number of chain stores across all five boroughs. According to the Center for an Urban Future's 16th annual "State of the Chains" report, things aren't going great for chain retailers in New York City.
