EVERETT – Everett Mall has some new or newly remodeled stores open for business with several more on the way.
“We are having a hard time keeping up with the grand opening dates for all the new stores here at Everett Mall,” said store manager Linda Johannes. “This is the most new store openings that we have had in such a short period of time that I can remember.”
Opening Friday was Boss Wear Girl, a 1,855-square-foot store in the Macy’s wing that will sell apparel from $5 to $70. The store is the first of 10 Boss Wear stores in Washington to focus on girls and young women between 13 and 25 years old.
The mall’s existing Boss Wear will soon undergo a remodel to accommodate an expanded line of clothing just for male customers, according to Julie Tennyson, mall marketing director.
Tennyson said a newly remodeled MasterCuts has already reopened and that the food court welcomed a new tenant this week, Dino’s Pizza &Pasta.
Later this month, Dig It! The Fossil Workshop will open its shop and learning center.
To help stock the new store, the mall will be unloading 8,000 fossil specimens from a tractor-trailer rig Monday. The fossils will be from Brazil, Madagascar, Morocco, China and Europe, ranging in age from 5 million to 600 million years old. The load will include fossilized fish, shark teeth, ferns, leaves and trilobites as well as such gems or minerals as amethyst, geodes, calcite, citrine and quartz.
The Dig It! shop will include three different sand quarries where kids can dig up actual fossils. In conjunction with the store’s opening, the mall will open a dinosaur-theme play and activity area later this month.
Later this year, Steve &Barry’s and LA Fitness should open in the area that had housed a Mervyn’s department store. TJ Maxx and Hobbytown will also open later in the year at the mall or at the adjacent Everett Mall Village.
