Silver Line Delivers Shopping Boom at Tysons Corner

A lot can be said for the easier commute that Metro’s new Silver Line is offering residents. But the trains are also offering Washington, D.C., a new route to some of in-demand locations in Northern Virginia.

For example, business appears to be booming at Tysons Corner shops, according to a NBC Washington report.

A Tysons Corner Center spokesperson told NBC that retailers are reporting double-digit sales increases.

NBC Washington also spoke with a store employee who has been able to cut his commute in half, as well as foreign tourists who hopped on the train after hearing about the shopping opportunities at Tysons.
