Belgian chocolatier Neuhaus, iconic notebook provider Moleskin and Gateway Newstand have added their names to the list of retailers that will eventually fill the 66,000 feet of retail space.

A spokeswoman for Neuhaus said the chocolate shop is set to open before the end of the year, though a date hasn’t been set.

Fulton Center is currently without a permanent tenant after the popup Men’s Bar, which sold men’s skincare products, closed last week after a two-month run.
