Plans for retailer submitted to town BY R OB E RT PELAEZ A new department store could soon fill a vacant storefront in the Lake Success Shopping Center, according to plans submitted to the Town of North Hempstead.

Town spokeswoman Rebecca Cheng said that as of Tuesday, the landlord had applied for a conditional use permit for the grocery component and for a Starbucks inside the store. Continued on Page 44
