Albany, NY – Pyramid Management Group, the largest privately-held shopping center developer in the northeast, is excited to announce the opening of the first Primark store in the Capital Region at Crossgates in Albany, New York.

“I am so proud and excited that Primark has once again chosen Pyramid and Crossgates for its continued expansion in the United States,” said Stephen J. Congel, CEO, Pyramid Management Group. “It’s a true testament to who Pyramid is as a developer — our creativity, our willingness to reinvest and reinvent our properties, and most importantly, our exceptional team who make all the difference in making store openings like this possible.”
“’Primania’ is spreading across the U.S., as shoppers discover our unbeatable combination of value, quality, and style,” said Kevin Tulip, President, Primark US. “The reception that we received from people in Buffalo and now in Albany is something we will remember at Primark for years to come. We are thrilled to continue our expansion in New York with Pyramid and introduce Albany to Primark’s unique, value-driven offering of fashion and essentials for the whole family.”
