Nike By Bethesda Opens Today

Published May 25, 2023 at 8:44AM

Just days after the Nike store in Georgetown closed its doors, a new Nike store put up signage in January at 7117 Arlington Rd in Bethesda– the former home of Amazon Books. “Nike By Bethesda” is opening its 6,063 SF store today (Thursday, May 25th). The store is open from 10am-8pm Monday-Saturday and 10am-7pm on Sundays.

Nike recently opened its Silver Spring Nike Unite store and also operates a Factory Store at the Clarksburg Premium Outlets in Montgomery County. The Bethesda store is considered a retail store. Nike retail stores offer shoes and apparel that are new and come directly from the warehouse. They are generally priced at the normal retail price. This is different than a Nike Factory store, which sell products made specifically for the retail outlet or outlet out-of-season discounted goods.
