After 22 years serving commuters and residents, the newsstand inside the Rockville Centre Long Island Rail Road station is preparing for a change in ownership, with a new tenant selected to take over the space.
A banner displayed above the newsstand offers a farewell message to the community, reading, “22 years of serving this wonderful community has been an absolute honor. Thank you for your loyalty and support throughout this incredible journey.”
Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesperson Kayla Shults said the current tenant’s lease is expiring, and the operator chose not to renew. The MTA subsequently issued a request for proposals and selected a new tenant.
The current newsstand will remain open until renovations for the incoming tenant begin, Shults said. The MTA will share more information about the new tenant when it becomes available.
