A Long Island story

Green Acres is in the middle of a big makeover. The 400,000-square-foot project includes an 80,000-square-foot ShopRite, new outdoor green space, more dining and a redesigned entrance on the northeast wing.

The food lineup keeps growing, too. Shake Shack, Panda Express and Tony’s Tacos are all on the list for Green Acres and Green Acres Commons, along with Sephora, Paris Baguette and Club Pilates.

We’ll keep you posted here and on air as opening day gets closer. Keep it locked to WLIT.FM.
