NEW HARTFORD — Sangertown Square has announced the reopening of the Journeys store in the shopping mall at 8555 Seneca Turnpike.

Journeys is a teen specialty retailer with an emphasis on trendy and affordable branded footwear, apparel, and accessories. With more than 800 stores across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada, Journeys caters to the teen/young adult market and features brands like Converse, Vans, Crocs, Birkenstock, Adidas, and UGG.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome back the Journeys brand to Sangertown Square. A move back to our market shows how high-performing Sangertown Square is and we know our guests share in the excitement of welcoming Journeys back,” said Maria Ackerman, marketing coordinator at Sangertown Square.

The Journeys shopping experience goes beyond the average retail environment. Self-expression isn’t just accepted, it’s encouraged through shelves of unique merchandise, exclusive digital content, and a friendly staff that reflects the company’s values, the announcement added.

Through a network of partnerships, event sponsorships, and artist collaborations, customers can also interact with the brand across social media platforms and at in-person events, festivals, and concerts. The Journeys team strives to give back to the community through charitable events and volunteer programs with a particular interest in music, arts, action sports and culture.
