I don't remember a Pier 1 in Levittown, but confused by other poster saying that it didn't last because it's a low income area. I live in Levittown and I wouldn't consider it a "low income area." I think any of those type of stores would do really well here.
She said she didn't think it would last there because Levittown is "too traditional," not low income.

I would like a Fairway or Stew Leonard's Market to come to Eastern Suffolk! I don't know how likely that would be with Whole Foods & Uncle G's around the same area.
I don't live on LI any more, but when we thought about moving back I was very sad about moving away from Stew Leonards.  The one in Danbury is 15 minutes away and I had my DD's 3rd birthday there. All my LI friends and family spent a lot of time shopping!
I love World Market, though they are a lot like Pier 1. I also love Wegmans.
As for Trader Joes, I like the one in Danbury more than the LI stores. But I also find I had to experiment because some of their things are hit or miss IMO. After a few years we have our staples and I find their fresh flowers are well priced and good quality.
I would love a wegmans too! My sister always raved about Stew Leonard's when she lived near one.
I don't have a trader joe's close by but when I do make the trip to one, I'm not usually all that impressed. Also, I was surprised that they didn't score so well on the HRC website. Definitely doesn't make me want to go out of my way to shop there.

I do. It was on Hempstead Turnpike. I believe it is where Ulta is now. It think it was in the late 90s.

Speaking of places to come to Long Island
I'd love it if they would expand Fairway into Suffolk!

Speaking of places to come to Long Island
I want a trader joes, whole foods, a fairway, or an uncle giuseppes on the east end. Is this too much to ask?
I could do without the aldi they are talking about opening...

Re: Speaking of places to come to Long Island
I would LOVE if a nice big Whole Foods opened near me. The one is Manhasset has a terrible parking lot so I rarely go. I'd also love a Trader Joes closer to home.

I would orgasm if a Publix was opened anywhere near NY/NJ/CT.

I know   
When I visit my family in FL, I go to Publix, like, EVERY DAY.
Their sandwiches are the bomb.
And their bakery section...holy moly!
Not to mention that in FL, they have an aisle of wine.
It's pretty much heaven IMO.

Re: Speaking of places to come to Long Island
Speaking of Pier 1, every time I've gone into one, regardless of location (outside of NYC), there seems to only be 1 or 2 other customers in there.
I even went in a few days before Christmas this year and it was the same deal.
With Target, Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls though, I could see them being a competition for this kind of store here on LI.
The one by me in Massapequa is also kind of a pain to get to because of the traffic and parking at times.

She said she didn't think it would last there because Levittown is "too traditional," not low income.
It was her earlier sentence that I found confusing:
"Markets like that would not survive in some of the lower income parts of Long Island."
She led right from that sentence into the sentence about the Pier 1 in Levittown. Maybe she didn't mean them to connect, but I connected it my head.
