The retailer’s first Dayton-area store is still under construction at the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek.
The 22,000-square-foot Dayton Mall store is tentatively scheduled to open before the holidays, probably in November, Duebber said. A “coming soon” sign has been posted in the space, which includes a former movie cinema between Elder-Beerman and Macy’s that has been vacant for about two decades, he said.
In part because the floor of the former movie theater is sloped, considerable site work must be done even before the store build-out can take place, Duebber said. The build-out of the clothing store is scheduled to start in June following the demolition and leveling work, the mall’s general manager said.
