Just as Westfield Montgomery mall rolled out its new rule barring unaccompanied minors after 3 p.m., another new teen store made its debut. Fast-fashion retailer Q has opened in the former Forever 21 space on the mall’s lower level, and its merchandise is pretty much the same as the prior tenant: sparkly dresses, silky tops, colorful unitards, hats, sunglasses and accessories at very low prices. This is Q’s second go-round at Westfield Montgomery, where it previously had a short run in the Macy’s wing.
Other retail happenings at the mall:
- Sheepskin Gifts & Alpaca Too, the seasonal shop that arrives every fall and departs every spring, has popped up again next to Lululemon.
- Tesla, which closed its longtime store in 2025, is back for the holidays with a pop-up outside Nordstrom.
Meanwhile, two stores have gone dark in the past couple of weeks.
- Kickz, which sold collectible athletic shoes, T-shirts and team jerseys, has closed after a four-year run. Just Cozy, a seasonal shop that was last seen at the mall in 2017, will be taking over its space for the holidays.
- QToys (unrelated to the Q clothing store) is out after less than a year — and right before the start of the holiday shopping season, too.
