L.L.Bean, Scout & Molly’s, milkshakes and a Coach name change

 

 

 

L.L.Bean store at Pike & Rose

 

L.L.Bean opens next month — right across from REI

Construction is nearly complete on the new L.L.Bean store at Pike & Rose, where the company tells us it expects to open Nov. 10 with 23,000 square feet of clothing, shoes and outdoor adventure gear. L.L.Bean sits just across the street from the new and even larger REI store, which opened last April with a similar mix of merchandise. With the recent additions of Pinstripes, Sephora, H&M and Sur La Table, Pike & Rose is finally taking shape as a retail, dining and entertainment destination — and poised to be a significant draw for shoppers this holiday season.

Burger and shakes at Five Guys

 

Milkshakes & smoothies in Potomac Village

Just in time for the cooler weather, this week marked the debut of milkshakes at Five Guys in Potomac Village. The $4.49 price includes unlimited mix-ins of malted milk, peanut butter, Double Stuf Oreos and a bunch of other goodies that will make you glad it’s finally sweatpants season (click here for the full list). And for those who prefer a healthier way to drink in some extra calories: Just across Falls Road, the Sprinkles ice cream shop is about to debut a new juice bar.

Coach bags

 

Name change for Coach

This week Coach announced plans to change its name to Tapestry Inc. — a move that caused some fans to panic that their favorite brand might disappear. But the company says the new name is meant to reflect its recent acquisitions of Stuart Weitzman and Kate Spade, which will continue along with Coach as separate fashion lines. Victor Luis, CEO of the newly renamed company, dismissed the idea that shoppers might associate “Tapestry” with the ’70s-era Carole King album: “We discovered that most millennials had not heard of it.” More on this story in The New York Times.
