Triangle Shopping Center, Yorktown Heights NY 1974

This authentic 1970s color photograph, captured in 1974, provides a wide-angle view of the Triangle Shopping Center located on Main Street in Yorktown Heights, New York. The archival image highlights the prominent W.T. Grant City department store anchor, featuring its large block-lettered “GRANT” signage across the facade. To the left, the Finast (First National Stores) supermarket is visible, complete with its distinctive red-roofed “Restaurant Coffee Shop” and pharmacy entrance. A tall monument sign near the entrance lists various mall shops, including Tiffany Wigs, The Bicycle Shop, and Drayton’s Beauty Salon. The expansive parking lot is filled with period automobiles, including several Ford Econoline vans, a wood-paneled Ford Country Squire station wagon, and a dark blue AMC Gremlin in the foreground. Located in Westchester County, the Triangle Shopping Center was a quintessential example of the 1970s suburban shopping hub. While the W.T. Grant chain ceased operations shortly after this photo was taken, and the Finast brand has since disappeared from the region, the Triangle Shopping Center remains a primary retail destination for Yorktown residents today, having undergone several modernizations and tenant changes. This factual record preserves the architectural footprint and commercial landscape of New York’s suburban retail history.
