Ralph Lauren's East Hampton stores will donate 10 percent of all sales today and Saturday to the Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End.

The Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End, or CTREE, is a nonprofit organization based in Sagaponack. Founded in 2009, its mission is to provide children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to ride and connect with horses.

The Ralph Lauren brand has often showcased horse and ranch-related clothing, as displayed at its East Hampton Double RL location. The company has two other Main Street shops, Ralph Lauren and Polo Ralph Lauren.

Mr. Lauren and his family spend part of the year in Montauk.

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
