Free People and FP Movement to open this fall

Reeds Jewelers to open first Rolex store in the market; lululemon to relocate and expand

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) announced the addition of several new and exciting stores at Mayfaire Town Center in Wilmington, NC, including Free People and FP Movement as well as significant upgrades to current tenants, Reeds Jewelers and lululemon.

“This is an exciting year for Mayfaire,” said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer, CBL Properties. “The property is celebrating its 20^th anniversary of serving the Wilmington community and we are thrilled to mark the milestone by adding exciting new retailers, including the first FP Movement in the CBL portfolio.”

Free People and FP Movement offer a contemporary and modern line of women’s clothing for every aspect of life. Free People and FP Movement will each open on Main Street, occupying approximately 2,300 and 2,200 square feet, respectively.

Reeds Jewelers, owned and operated by the Zimmer family, has operated at Mayfaire since the project opened 20 years ago. Last year, plans were announced for a significant investment into the store to build a formal flagship and community hub around the brand. The 9,000-square-foot space on Inspiration Drive includes Rolex and David Yurman stores as well as a bar and lounge. A grand opening for the newly renovated and expanded store is planned for July.

Lebovitz added, “The Zimmer family played a pivotal role in the development of Mayfaire and we appreciate their continued commitment to the growth and success of the center. Their new flagship store will offer shoppers an unparalleled luxury experience and elevate the overall mix at the property.”

lululemon, which originally opened at the center in 2021, will relocate and expand to a new 5,200-square-foot space along Main Street. To make way for these exciting additions, Rack Room Shoes has relocated and recently reopened in a new 4,000-square-foot space along Monument Drive, next to David’s Bridal.

Construction on Free People, FP Movement, and lululemon is currently underway with anticipated openings this fall. Additional details will be announced closer to the opening dates.

“We are thrilled with the strong demand at Mayfaire from such high-quality retailers and we are excited to celebrate these openings with the community,” commented Lebovitz.

In addition to Free People, FP Movement, and lululemon, Claire’s will open in June in a new 1,400-square-foot location along Inspiration Drive to make way for another exciting retailer. More details about that new store will be shared as plans are finalized.

Additionally, at Mayfaire Community Center, Vochos Urban Mexican Kitchen, and Potbelly Sandwich Shop will open, and Chick-fil-A will reopen this summer.
