Alexander's was a department store chain in the New York metropolitan area. Catering to low- and middle-income consumers, Alexander's offered discounted designer fashions and high-quality private label goods. At its height, the company operated 16 stores. Its advertising slogan was "You'll find Alexander's has what you're looking for; how lucky can you get?!". The company still exists as a REIT controlled and managed by Vornado Realty Trust.
Alexander's' most famous locations, perhaps, were on 3rd Avenue and 57th Street (across from Bloomingdale's), on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, at the World Trade Center Mall and in Paramus, New Jersey. Upon completion in 1974, Alexander's became the anchor tenant for the new mall located on the concourse level of the World Trade Center complex. It took up roughly 1/6 of the 500,000 sqft mall, the largest in New York City, and was located underneath 4 World Trade Center, immediately to the east of the south tower. Like the rest of the chain, it closed in 1992 and the lease was sold. The Paramus location was known for a world-record setting large mural painted by Stefan Knapp (see below).
