Sol Atlas opened Cross County on 28 April 1954 with backing from Leonard Marx, the first large scale shopping centre in Westchester and one of the most ambitious open air centres in the country. It started at about thirty stores and grew to nearly a hundred behind Gimbels and Wanamaker, with Jackie Robinson among the guests on opening day. It is still open air and still trading, which almost none of its contemporaries are.
