Sprouts & Shutters: Update on Stoneridge Shopping Center

One of the biggest announcements is the arrival of lululemon athletica. This will be the first location in the Tri-Valley area for the yoga-clothing retailer. The new store is anticipated to open its 2,800-square-foot space in early December.

Stoneridge Shopping Center has already welcomed a number of new shops this year. White House I Black Market opened a 3,283 square-foot boutique on May 2 in Grand Court. Additionally, Clark’s opened in late March and Pandora jewelry in April.

More stores slated to open this year include PINK, LOFT, Spencer’s Gifts and Kids Foot Locker. In July, LOFT, which sells women's apparel, will be opening in the old Lane Bryant space, which is now open in its new location on the upper level near Nordstrom. The PINK store will debut later this summer and Spencer’s Gifts will join the upper level outside of jcpenney in early fall. Construction of Kids Foot Locker will commence this summer, with an expected open this fall.

Other stores may seem new, but are just operating in a new space. Forever 21 expanded into a new two-level 21,000-square-foot space near Macy’s Women in March. On the lower level, Torrid relocated in February near Nordstrom and Sports Fever expanded into a new space near jcpenney in May.

Shoppers can also expect to see some additional changes for current retailers. Victoria’s Secret is undergoing a complete renovation in its current space, which is open during construction, and is expected to be complete later this summer. Aveda and Select Comfort have both relocated to the lower level near jcpenney, while Sunglass Hut is expected to open a new store on the upper level near Banana Republic in early August. Currently, Sunglass Hut is open in its current location.

“It’s been a very exciting year for us, with a lot for our shoppers to be excited about,” said Carrie Williams, Director of Marketing and Business Development at Stoneridge Shopping Center. “We are thrilled for new retailers like lululemon athletica and PINK to join the property, but also to see some of the mall favorites revamping and expanding their stores.”
