Below, you’ll find updates on several new businesses coming soon to Westfield Montgomery Mall (7101 Democracy Blvd) in Bethesda

No opening date has been announced. The news of Mind Games upcoming Montgomery Mall location was first reported by Robert Dyer.

Sheepskin Gifts & Alpaca Too
Signage is up for the seasonal business Sheepskin Gifts & Alpaca Too, which opens annually for the holiday shopping season. The store offers a variety of items, including sheepskin steering wheel covers, boots, rugs, and throws. No opening date has been announced yet.

KaFean Koffee
Yesterday we reported that Kafean Koffee is coming to Montgomery Mall. The coffee shop will be located on the lower level of the mall, in the kiosk that was previously home to Moorenko’s. KaFean is set to open in about two weeks and will specialize in espresso drinks and pastries. It will join Starbucks and Nordstrom Marketplace Cafe as another option for getting your caffeine fix while you shop. We will provide an update when additional information becomes available.

Claire’s
Claire’s is currently undergoing a remodel which is expected to take around two weeks. The teen accessory chain has been the “go-to spot for teen ear-piercing, jewelry, and accessories since the 60s.” Claire’s sister-brand ICING permanently closed its Montgomery Mall location in June.  While Claire’s is geared towards tweens and young teens, ICING’s products were marketed towards women 18 -35 years of age.
