Canadian clothing brand Roots plans to open in Tysons Corner Center later this year.
A sign outside the store says that Roots will arrive in October in the former Aldo space on the second level by the Victoria’s Secret.
The company sells women’s, men’s and kids’ clothing, with a focus on leisure wear and leather goods branded with the beaver logo.
Started in Toronto in 1973, Roots now has more than 120 stores across North America, according to its website.
For shoppers who can’t wait until October, Roots has stores in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and Georgetown.
Gilly Hicks, a lingerie brand by Hollister, may soon arrive in Tysons Corner Center.
Hollister revived Gilly Hicks two years ago when the intimates market started to grow as more brands focused on selling bras and underwear geared toward teen consumers.
Building permits indicate that Gilly Hicks plans to occupy a space within BrandBox, a collection of pop-up stores in the mall, on the lower level near H&M. Hollister is also on the first level by Macy’s.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which owns Hollister, is on the second level, directly above the BrandBox spaces.
People outside Tysons Corner Center might have noticed a farmers market last Sunday (June 9).
Community Foodworks announced on Friday (June 7) that the Tysons Farmers Market relocated from 8400 Westpark Drive to The Plaza.
Community Foodworks, a nonprofit that works to connect food from farmers to underserved populations, operates 15 farmers markets in Northern Virginia and D.C.
Vendors at the Tysons Farmers Market include:
- Chilanga — traditional Mexican food
- District Coffee
- Great Valley Farm — fresh produce from the Shenandoah Valley

Home goods company Wayfair is planning to open a pop-up store in Tysons Corner Center in August.
The e-commerce company announced in a press release yesterday (June 10) that the “Wayfair Decor & Inspiration Shop” will come to four malls on Aug. 1, including Schaumburg, Ill.; Durham, N.C.; and King of Prussia, Pa.
Shoppers will be able to browse pieces like living room wall art, throw pillows and bed and bath items.
“We are excited to open four new pop-up shop locations across the U.S. this summer,” Courtney Lawrie, the director of brand marketing at Wayfair, said in the press release. “The Wayfair Decor & Inspiration Shop will provide our customers a place to go for home ideas and inspiration as well as the chance to shop over 250 budget-friendly and eclectic decor items to purchase in-shop for the first time ever.”
The pop-ups are set to last for three months.
(Updated at 1:55 p.m.) Cosmetics chain Sephora will close its stores for training on Wednesday (June 5), after R&B singer SZA accused the store of racial profiling.
The stores will be closed for one hour, The New York Times reported. Sephora has a spot in Tysons Corner Center on the second level across from another cosmetics store — Morphe.
In April, SZA tweeted that a Sephora store in California “called security to make sure I wasn’t stealing.”
Lmao Sandy Sephora location 614 Calabasas called security to make sure I wasn’t stealing . We had a long talk. U have a blessed day Sandy

Sephora tweeted back on May 1: “You are a part of the Sephora family, and we are committed to ensuring every member of our community feels welcome and included at our stores.”
In another tweet the same day, the company also said that they “take complaints like this very seriously and are actively working with our teams to address the situation immediately.”
Then on Thursday, May 23, Sephora posted on Facebook:
On the morning of 6/5, every Sephora store, distribution center, and corporate office in the US will close to host inclusion workshops for our employees. These values have always been at the heart of Sephora, and we’re excited to welcome everyone when we reopen.
The stores will reopen after the one-hour-long inclusion training, The New York Times reported.
The Paris-based chain offers more than 300 brands and its own private label.
