While Lord & Taylor has made things difficult with their refusal to close its White Flint store, long after the mall has been demolished, it seems as if they’re ready to play ball when it comes to the redevelopment of the area.


The store has been at 20 Grand Corner Ave in Rio for approximately 13 years. We were told there are no plans for this store to relocate as it had from its previous Kentlands location in the early 2000s.

There are nearby locations in Fairfax, Annapolis, and Towson.
