“We are pleased that Shake Shack is opening a location in Nanuet. Nanuet is perfectly situated as the Hub of Rockland; you can hop on and off Route 59, The NYS Thruway, the Palisades, and the Garden State Parkway all very easily from Nanuet so it makes sense that so many businesses, large and small, choose Nanuet as the ideal place to locate. As Nanuet continues to evolve thanks to the anticipated Transit Oriented Development, we look forward to welcoming more and more businesses to the area which is good for job creation and providing residents with options for shopping and dining. We do hope that Michael’s Tuxedos will relocate within our Hamlet as they have been here for over 4 decades and so many have memories of getting their prom and wedding Tuxedos there,” stated Risa B. Hoag, President of the Greater Nanuet Chamber of Commerce.
