Any word on the KMart space? Wasn't The Block supposed to expand into that by December 2019, or am I not remembering that correctly?
So…just heard that Bed, Bath and Beyond in Bailey's might also closing. Ellie, anyone, heard anything or is this just a rumor?
Bed Bath % Beyond is planning to close stores but hasn't announced which ones.
Also wondering about the viability of Pier One in Bailey’s Crossroads.
Looks like Parliament Cleaners in downtown Annandale has changed hands. Any update?
