Just days after the Nike store in Georgetown closed its doors, a new Nike store has put up signage at 7117 Arlington Rd in Bethesda– the former home of Amazon Books. According to a Bethesda Beat report, the 6,063 SF space now displays “Nike by Bethesda” signage out front, with captions saying, “Coming Soon” and “Join Our Team.”
A Nike Unite store has been in the works since last June, taking over the location that was formerly home to DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse location at 910 Ellsworth Drive. After previously setting an opening date of November 3rd on its Google listing, the store pushed back the opening to “2023”, and then set an opening date of Thursday, February 2nd. The date has been pushed back again to Thursday, February 16th, according to its Google listing. An opening date for the Bethesda location is not currently available.
