Our history
State News has been operating since 1972. We started out as a single storefront operation in New Jersey which grew into twelve locations.
We then took over all the news stands at the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal.
In 1979 we opened at the present location 1243 Third Avenue on 72nd street. On September 6, 2006 we had a grand opening at 112 East 86th Street.
