Anyone know what will go where linens and things is (next to whole market- off of 123)? I hope something worthwhile- I think there was a petsmart around there at one point and I hope it's nothing like that.. any insights?

>> I think there was a petsmart around there at one point
It used to be a Hechinger's until about 8 or 9 years ago, and then it became office space for awhile. The PetSmart is down route 7 near Old Gallows and the Beltway. I thought it was dumb to put that store in there, Bed Bath and Beyond is less than a mile from it!
No idea what's going in there. I hope it's a Target, I hate driving all the way to Reston to go there, and there are no cheap retailers around Tysons.

True- was also puzzled on how both BB&B and L&T could compete that close to each other.. A target is good..
No matter how much I love food shopping- we don't need another grocery store .. not sure if the harris teeter in tysons (near freddie mac) is done but so far all we need is a wegman's closer and we are complete with all major supermarkets within 5 miles.. (even trader joe's is within 5 miles)

Ha. Did not know about a Harris Teeter. Do you mean near the Freddie Mac on Jones Branch? I know they put up condos over there but I didn't know a store was going in.
I'd rather see something other than Wegman's... I'm fine with the Whole Foods in Idylwood Plaza.

It's opening early next year- at westpark and international - I work as a consultant for a company on westpark.. i saw that the harris teeter is surrounded by major new condos (also being built when i saw the sign)..
I like wegman's- but wow- can you imagine the traffic mess if it was built where L&T is? the wegman's in dulles and ffx were like zoos when they opened and forget going there on weekends.. we have enough on 123 already- I'm fine with a good ole target like you said.. Besides, that space isn't ginormous enough for a wegman's..
