Fortunoff Backyard Store plans to relocate two of its stores

Fortunoff Backyard Store’s plans for Northeast growth include two store relocations on Long Island.

The outdoor-furniture retailer will move its Melville store to a smaller space in an area targeted more to the retailer’s customer demographics in the Town of Huntington, said Curt Littlejohn, president and CEO of Fortunoff Backyard Store and Chair King Backyard Store.

Fortunoff Backyard Store also is relocating its Lake Grove store to a more visible site in Stony Brook, he said.

The retailer's Melville store will relocate from a shopping center to a freestanding, leased building about 4 miles away, in Huntington Station, at 269 Old Walt Whitman Rd. Sam Ash Music Stores vacated the Huntington Station building in March 2024.
