This new Rochester store is the first of its kind on Long Island and will be located at 1625 Northern Boulevard.

'This is a significant move for CMRG, as the opening of their second Rochester in New York store allows us to serve theircustomers with the most comprehensive, fashionable options for today's big and tall man.'
