Woodbridge, Va. –– A new retail shop set to open at Potomac Mills mall will be the first of its kind in the Washington area.
Tommy Bahama Outlet is slated to open its doors in early August, bringing with it clothing usually seen by those who live on tropical islands, as well as t-shirts, polo shirts and fragrances.
It is one of three new stores coming to the mall’s “fashion district” in neighborhood one.
Another new store slated to open, Tumi, is being called a concept outlet store and will offer accessories for those who travel for fun or for business.
A Rockport Outlet store and Puma Outlet store will also follow the opening of the new stores in the mall, said Potomac Mills spokeswoman Loren Horsley.
The new stores will not require the mall to build an addition to the current facilities.
In February, commuters who parked at the mall’s front parking lot were told new stores were coming to the mall which would require a new addition.
The number of commuter parking spaces at the mall was reduced by 75 percent.
The mall still has plans to build the addition but has yet to make an official announcement about when construction will begin.
