>The Elusive White Knight – Could a National Retail Chain Save Downtown Ridgewood?

>Many landlords and proprietors of retail establishments in Ridgewood’s Central Business District are claiming that Ridgewood’s downtown could be saved if a national chain were convinced to open an store here.

However, there are several national retailers already in Ridgewood. They are:

The Gap
The Baby Gap
Lucky Brand Jeans
Ann Taylor
Gymboree
Color Me Mine
The Rugged Bear
Fox’s
Sleepy’s
Rite Aid
Chico’s
Sherwin Williams Paint

So why hasn’t the downtown been saved?
