Discount clothing retailer Gabriel Brothers, also known as Gabes, will open at Featherstone Square shopping center in Woodbridge.
The nearly 40,000 square foot store will replace an old antique shop that used to be located in the shopping center. In the 1980s, the now defunct Dart Drug and Trak Auto chain stores operated stores there.
Gabes sells designer clothing for up to 70% off retail prices. The company operates 58 stores in the U.S., including a location on Route 3 in Spotsylvania County just outside Fredericksburg.
Building plans for the new clothing store are under review at the Prince William County Development Services Office, said branch chief Chris Roop.
Gabes has not announced an opening date for the new location, said Roop.
The clothing retailer did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
Last year, we reported the owners of Featherstone Square and county officials were in talks to remake the shopping center and give Featherstone Square a more upscale look.
A total of 118 homes were built next to the shopping center. The homes sold quickly, according to shop owners at Featherstone Square.
