Le Creuset closes at Bethesda Row (Photos)

Le Creuset has closed as expected at 7116 Bethesda Lane. The interior is being cleared out and demolished, and the space is now up for lease.

Le Creuset to close at Bethesda Row

Le Creuset has been holding a 50%-off sale, and the showroom inventory has been dwindling significantly in recent days, with a number of empty shelves. I have now confirmed that the store will be closing, as soon as this week. A final day has not been announced yet, however, so there is still time to get some bargains.

The high-end cookware store has been open at 7116 Bethesda Lane for a decade. It is among the brand names that gave cachet to Bethesda Row as an upscale retail destination.
