SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Macerich (NYSE: MAC), one of the nation’s leading owners, operators and developers of one-of-a-kind retail and mixed-use properties in top markets, today announced that Primark has opened a new Long Island store at Green Acres Mall.
Irish retail brand Primark is a leading international clothing retailer that draws shoppers to the high street worldwide with its wide selection of essentials and fashion favorites built around everyday affordability.

Grunert, Executive Vice President, Leasing, Macerich. “The enthusiasm for this store opening has been palpable for months.
