A popular Albany County outdoor shopping center that has been open since 1959 is getting a huge overhaul and facelift. There are big plans to upgrade the shopping experience with more amenities.

There has been a plan for Wilton Mall for quite some time. The first part of the plan is to level Bon Ton and start building luxury apartments. However, there has been some lasting resistance from a few.

Will apartments and townhouses be built on the Wilton Mall land? A vote has moved the plans closer to approval but some residents highly oppose them.

A local mall is allowing your furry friend to shop along with you. Not only will they be allowed inside certain stores, but there will be dog-friendly events too!

It is always good news when an empty store is being filled with new retailers. The Party City store that is empty inside of Mohawk Commons will soon have two new tenants.

This Christmas, stuff your wife or girlfriend's stocking with cozy gifts.

'Tis the season to find the perfect gifts and delightful treats and eats at Trader Joe's. We love to shop not only for ourselves but for others this holiday season. Here are a few essential specialties that are available at Capital Region Trader Joe's.

I was walking through the Latham Sam's Club and I couldn't believe all of the random items they sell. There was everything from drizzled popcorn to pickled polish sausage. Check out the ten random items I picked out for you to see with your own eyes. Who buys these things?

So, what's going on with the Crossgates Best Buy?  Anyone? I haven't driven by Crossgates yet to check it out.  I initially read a headline by the Times Union made it dramatically sound like Best Buy is closed for good.  And look, who knows- with all the events of 2020 and economic circumstances- it very well may happen eventually (as much as I hate to say that about any store)...

Walmart has launched it’s holiday savings – earlier than ever – with its Early Deals Drop on Walmart.com

We've got BJ's and Sam's Club, and here is why we need Costco in our lives.

Another one bites the dust! Yet another clothing store is shutting down, impacting the Capital Region. While it seems like the trend of store-closings is less than last year (that's my impression, I don't know the statistics), it still hasn't stopped...

The Lake George Outlets are about get a great addition to their lineup of clothing stores.

There's a liquidation sale going on just in time to stock up on sports goods for the summer. A local staple, sporting goods store 'Goldstock's Sporting Goods' closed its doors and now inventory is being liquidated.  News Channel 13 reported that their liquidation sale has kicked off...

Beat the lines this year and avoid the worst day for Thanksgiving Shopping

I hate clothes shopping. Like many people, trying on clothes and seeing how the sizes don't fit me is a terrible feeling, until a recent trip which completely changed my perspective.

I went shopping yesterday-yes, Sunday. Everyone was happy, no lines, and no parking lot problems. Unlike the horror stories we have been hearing about Black Friday 2013!

The Thanksgiving Day holiday is traditionally meant to be spent with family and friends, cheating on our diets being gluttons, and giving thanks for all we have.  This year retailers have combined the Black Friday madness with a holiday, starting the shopping frenzy on turkey night. Is this morally right? Well, retail America seems to think so!

Many of us love to shop, but when is it shopping for necessity and when is it a compulsive, addictive behavior? Retail therapy may be a mood booster but it sure clutters up the closet!

Crossgates Mall is about to give local shoppers a taste of Europe with the announcement of 6 new stores. British, French, Spanish and Portuguese styles will all be represented in the new retailers.

The Latham Circle Mall is due for a huge over-haul (duh!). I haven’t set foot in the dump for years. I assume all that’s left are stores selling samurai swords and Native American hand-crafted items. The plan, according to a story in the Times Union, is to re-launch as an “open-air shopping center” – much like Clifton Park Center.
