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.

Farrow & Ball, the U.K. based paint and wallpaper brand, is opening a new location at Federal Realty’s Bethesda Row in December 2022. The showroom will be located at 7118 Bethesda Lane next to Simon Pearce and The Shade Store and will offer color consultations, decorating inspiration and advice. The space was originally planned to be the home of Little Sesame before the restaurant made the decision to concentrate on its hummus production and distribution earlier this summer

Per the press release: Farrow & Ball has been based in Dorset, England, since 1946. To this day, the brand remains dedicated to creating richly pigmented paints and handcrafted wallpapers using only the highest-quality ingredients. The result is a directional palette of paint colors with an extraordinary response to light and artisanal wallpapers with a tactile finish, uniquely achieved by printing paint on paper. Together, they transform homes of all kinds, inside and out, all over the world. From the signature chalky matt of Estate Emulsion to the durability of washable Modern Emulsion, each high-performance finish is carefully crafted with a precise balance of pigments and a low-VOC water base, creating an extraordinary depth of color and a beautiful finish.
