Leasing Deals: June 23
- The Americana at Brand scored a fantastic lease this month, snagging one of the first two Disney Baby stores when they open next year. No details yet, but it sounds like this will be infant wear, nursery items and other adorable things. Awww!
- GA Keen Realty Advisors found leases for 41 properties previously filled by Metropark shops after the clothing retailer went out of business. Impressively, the company pulled the feat off in two weeks, leasing most to Cotton On Group and the rest to Perry Ellis Menswear.
- The Grove in Los Angeles will be picking up an Altheta location this fall. Athleta is one of this year’s ICSC Hot Retailers, so great work on that one.
- Speaking of those hot retailers, Regency Center’s Seminole Shoppes will be home to Jacksonville’s first Smashburger. The eatery is taking a 2,100 square foot location and opening for business this fall.
- Another yummy lease: Macon Mall will be the new home of Smok’n Pig BBQ as part of the center’s redevelopment. The top-10 restaurant will open later this year.
- Samsonite Group is expanding rapidly in the Middle East, opening a stand-alone shop this month in Al Tahlia Shopping Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
