STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. After announcing in 2019 that Red Lobster would be opening a restaurant in The Boulevard in New Dorp, the developer for the new $180 million project said the popular seafood chain has since pulled out of the deal.
Known for various dishes, such as Creamy Lobster Alfredo, Wood-Grilled Sea Scallops and Garlic Shrimp Scampi, the popular chain seafood retailer headquartered in Orlando, Fla., was supposed to make its debut on Staten Island in the new Boulevard shopping center.

Since the larger state-of-the-art store opened in October, the developers of both shopping centers, the Long Island-based Kimco Realty, are actively seeking potential tenants to occupy ShopRite’s former space at 2424 Hylan Blvd.
“ShopRite was a huge success right out of the gate,” said Joshua Weinkranz, president of the northern region of the Kimco Realty, of the new larger supermarket in The Boulevard.
“We are talking to a handful of people for different types of uses. We are trying to get it leased as soon as we can,” he said.
