Restaurants, Bars, and Coffee Shops Power Retail Growth on Long Island Food and beverage tenants are fueling a new wave of retail real estate growth — both nationwide and right here on Long Island. From Starbucks drive-thrus along Sunrise Highway to Chick-fil-A’s expansion in Commack, Riverhead, and East Meadow, dining concepts are reshaping the local market. Quick-service restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries are not only filling vacancies but also revitalizing strip centers and energizing downtowns like Patchogue and Huntington. For landlords and developers, these traffic-driving tenants represent one of the most reliable engines of consumer activity and retail success.
