2 new stores are opening soon at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham
A popular mall in Durham continues to fill with tenants, as two new retailers are expected to open storefronts there this year.
Lego, the Danish toy company known for its colorful building bricks, is expanding in the Triangle with a store at The Streets at Southpoint. The other retailer, the California apparel brand PacSun, will also open a location at the Durham mall.
With these two brands, Southpoint’s growth continues. Late last year, the mall announced that five retailers — Vuori, Gorjana, Aritzia, Alo Yoga and Dick’s House of Sport — were marking their Triangle debut with a location at the Durham shopping center.
The difference here is that PacSun and Lego already have a presence in the area.
Here’s what to know about the new stores.
When will Lego and PacSun open at The Streets at Southpoint?
Lego, which is moving into the former Buckle space, is anticipating a Friday, May 23 opening, a public relations spokesperson for the brand told The News & Observer in an email.
The 4,324-square-foot store will feature amenities such as a Pick & Build Wall and demonstration table.
This will be the second Lego location in the Triangle, following the store at Raleigh’s Crabtree Valley Mall. The Triangle also has multiple Bricks and Minifigs stores, which buy and sell new and used Lego items but are a franchises of a different company, not The Lego Group.
PacSun is expected to open in early summer, but an official opening date has not yet been set. The store will be on the upper level Macy’s wing and spans 4,085 square feet.
Raleigh has two Pacsun locations — at Crabtree and Triangle Town Center. There’s also a PacSun store at Carolina Premium Outlets in Smithfield.
What else is coming to the Durham mall?
We know of several retailers that have yet to open at Southpoint. All of these are “first market tenants” — brands’ first brick-and-mortars in the Triangle — which The Streets at Southpoint tries to attract, Steve Bolger, the vice president of leasing at mall owner and manager Brookfield Properties, previously told The News & Observer.
- Dick’s House of Sport: This interactive sports retail store is moving into the former Sears space at the mall. An expected opening date has not been announced.
- Alo Yoga: The athleisure brand will join retailers including Vuori, Athleta, Fabletics, Offline by Aerie and Lululemon at the mall. An opening date has not been announced, and there is only one other Alo Yoga in North Carolina (in Charlotte).
- Aritzia: Founded in Canada, this apparel store offers “everyday luxury” from house brands and familiar labels including Levi’s, New Balance and Citizens of Humanity.
- Gorjana: The California-based jewelry brand is expected to open this summer.
