For a short month, February always packs it in. Which is nice since January always seems like it goes on for an entire semester. Here’s what’s happening on the Shopping Scene in Charlotte this month.
New Stores Opening
ReClectic: 10500 Centrum Parkway in Pineville. Opens Friday, Feb. 7
For lovers of Anthropologie, Free People, Urban Outfitters, and Nuuly, this new concept from parent company URBN is music to the ears. Or closet. Selling overstocks, returned goods, slightly worn, all at 50-60% off retail. The new Pineville store, opening this weekend, is the company’s 4th. NOTE: No dressing rooms, no returns.
Vela Aesthetics + Mercantile: 1800 Camden Road, Suite 104. Grand Opening Friday, Feb. 13
Paper Skyscraper Davidson. Opening February
Dilworth’s favorite gift shop is expanding to Davidson and we think it’s a perfect fit. Look for them to open in Feb or March at Davidson Commons (610 Jetton Street, Ste. 110).
Crate & Barrel Moving to Morrocroft Village (Taj-ma-Teeter Center)
Sometime this spring/summer C&B will move from its SouthPark Mall area location to a 27,400 sf space on Colony in the Morrocroft Village — where DSW used to be. This could be very, very dangerous.
