National Retailers Recognize Sullivan County’s Momentum
For decades, many Sullivan County residents had to travel 30 to 40 minutes to access major national retail establishments. As the county’s economy has diversified and its population, tourism, and business activity have grown, that pattern has begun to change.
Today, national retailers are increasingly recognizing the value of locating in Sullivan County. Brands such as The Home Depot, Walmart, Marshalls, Old Navy, Starbucks, Five Below, and others have established a presence in the region, serving residents, visitors, and the greater Sullivan Catskills market.
This growth reflects more than retail convenience. It signals confidence in Sullivan County’s economy, consumer base, workforce, and long-term development potential. A stronger retail mix also helps keep more spending local, supports job creation, and improves quality of life for residents who previously had to leave the county for everyday shopping needs.
As Sullivan County continues to attract investment across hospitality, housing, healthcare, food production, recreation, and small business, retail growth is another sign of a regional economy gaining strength
