J.Crew reopens at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda

J.Crew has reopened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. It has moved across the corridor to a new location. The return of J.Crew is slightly behind schedule, as the store was officially expected to reopen this past summer. Look for J.Crew's new spot on Level 1 of the mall, between Intimissimi and Arhaus.

Express, Express Men, J.Crew close at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda

Express and Express Men have permanently closed their stores at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, as expected. J.Crew has also closed, but will return to the mall in the near future in a space across the corridor from their old location. What's odd is that J.Crew closed the existing store before the new one was ready, despite having access to the new space across the hall since March. Hopefully it's just a matter of moving the inventory, and won't be an extended closure.

J.Crew preps for move at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda

J.Crew is making a short move at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The popular fashion brand will move across the hall to a new space between Intimissimi and Arhaus on Level 1. It appears to be smaller than the existing location. That's still a better deal than J.Crew's employees got at their Westfield San Francisco Centre location, which has permanently closed in recent weeks. At Montgomery Mall, J.Crew will open in the new space this summer, according to the signage posted across it.

This post is brought to you by the letter "J".

J. Crew has reopened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The preppy outfitter was closed most of the summer for a major renovation. Such renovations are apparently occurring chain-wide, with stores in New York City, Miami and - closer to home - Friendship Heights getting a refresh.

In other fashion news from the mall, J. Jill has reopened in its new location. They're already having a sale.

Bethesda residents who favor a preppy look may find the opening of Vineyard Vines at Westfield Montgomery Mall to have been perfect timing. That's because the J. Crew store at the mall is going to be out of commission for most of the summer. The store is undergoing a major renovation over the next 2 months, and will reopen on August 3.

The length of the closure does get the Spider Sense tingling, with the recent struggles of J. Crew in mind. However, I've heard very positive comments about recently remodeled J. Crew outposts in New York City and Miami, so stay tuned.
