Blakeney Shopping Center is getting another high-end retailer in March with the addition of Soft Surroundings.
The St. Louis-based retailer announced its plans to expand to North Carolina, with its Blakeney shop being the company’s first in the state.
The brand sells luxury women’s clothing, home goods, jewelry and skincare in its 24 nationwide locations.
Fifteen additional locations are planned this year, and the Charlotte store will be the first of the new locations to open in 2016. A Greensboro location is slated to open later in the year.
Soft Surroundings will join women’s clothiers like Talbot, Ann Taylor LOFT, Banana Republic and White House Black Market in Blakeney.
The 270-acre mixed-use development known as Blakeney (Blakeney Square, Blakeney Crossing and Apartments at Blakeney) is located on Rea Road near Ardrey Kell Road. It includes 600,000 square feet of retail, single-family attached and detached homes, office development and apartment homes.
The outdoor shopping center has more than 13 dining locations, in addition to big anchor stores such as Target, Marshall’s/Home Goods, Best Buy and Banana Republic.
All phases of the project were completed in 2012 by developer Crosland Southeast.
