Asian lifestyle store coming to Seven Corners
Teso Life, a retailer that specializes in Japanese and Korean cosmetics, snacks, household items, toys, stationery, and other Asian products, is coming to the former CVS space in the Willston I Shopping Center in Seven Corners.
The CVS closed in October 2022. Fairfax County approved a demolition permit in June to renovate the interior of the building, located at 6164 Arlington Blvd. Meanwhile, the entire shopping center is undergoing a façade upgrade.
Teso is a fast-growing group of retailers with more than 300 locations in the U.S.
The only other Teso Life store in Virginia is in Centreville. Others are in the works for Springfield Plaza and Sterling.
The company was founded by retail entrepreneur Andy Lin in Queens, N.Y., in 2017.
