Sassanova makeover in progress at Bethesda Row

Sassanova is updating its store at 7134 Bethesda Lane. The longtime boutique tenant at Bethesda Row has enjoyed over a decade of success at the Federal Realty property, and now wants to refresh its space for the next. To accomplish this, the shop has temporarily closed, and will reopen late this summer. In the meantime, they have opened a pop-up shop at the Wildwood Shopping Center in North Bethesda, so you can keep shopping Sassanova all summer long.
