NYC Retail Shift: Dunkin's Rise, Starbucks' Fall
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
New York Citys retail scene is undergoing a significant transformation, with chain stores closing and new ones emerging. Despite a decline in chain locations for the sixth time in eight years, this is not indicative of a retail crisis but rather a shifting landscape. Dunkin has surpassed Starbucks in Manhattan, marking a notable change in the citys retail dynamics. The Center for an Urban Futures annual report reveals that food-related chains are on the rise, now making up over half of the tracked chains, a stark contrast to just five years ago when this number was only forty-five percent. The pandemic has also played a role, with about twenty percent of retail chains leaving New York City, particularly drug stores and wireless outlets. This dynamic period sees new players filling the void left by older, more established brands.
