Fenton is opening in Cary soon. Here’s a list of every shop and restaurant coming so far

The highly anticipated Fenton development will open at the end of April, with nearly 345,000 square feet of expected shopping, dining and entertainment space.

Fenton is one of the largest retail-driven projects under development in the country, according to Hines, the international real estate investor building Fenton in partnership with South Carolina’s Columbia Development.

Most stores will open April 29 for a soft opening with a grand opening scheduled for June 4 and 5.

A spokesperson said a full list of retailers and their opening dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
