Petco is the latest loss in The Waterfront at Port Chester development off Waterfront Place. Following a storewide sale where everything including the fixtures is being sold, it will be closing on Saturday, Jan. 15. The store was originally slated to close a year ago, but reportedly the Petco employee who paid the rent there didn’t get the word, the annual rent was paid, and the store stayed open an extra year.
Bed Bath & Beyond in The Waterfront at Port Chester will bite the dust shortly after Petco. It will be closing sometime in February, according to a store employee. Currently all merchandise is 20% off and no coupons can be used. This store closing is part of the chain’s downsizing to focus on its strongest performing stores and online sales.

Barriers block off the buildings that were knocked down in short order at the corner of North Main and Mill streets. The 6-story Tarry Lighthouse mixed-use project will eventually rise at that spot with 209 residential units, 28,000 square feet of street level shops, 271 parking spaces and various amenities. However, a deal has not been reached with X-S Hair which is still open in the adjacent building which all other tenants have vacated, putting a cog in the wheel.
