CORE closes at Montgomery Mall, Victoria's Secret moving

CORE is no more

Upscale urban apparel retailer CORE continues its on-again, off-again relationship with Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. After a two-year run from 2015-2017, the store closed, only to return last March on Level 1 in the Nordstrom wing. But Sunday, CORE had closed again after exactly one year. There had been signs over the last week that they were shutting down, but now it's official.

Victoria's Secret is on the move

Victoria's Secret and former CEO Les Wexner indeed have their share of secrets. We might be on to their destination in their move at Montgomery Mall, however. There are "signs" that a sign is being installed over a Level 1 space recently vacated by a furniture store.

story was this easy to figure out
