Growth in Atlantic City retail; expansion and new stores at The Walk
Spent some time in Atlantic City this weekend and I love the growth of retail down there. I’ve talked about the rise of retail in the city before. What really interested me this weekend was some of the new construction going on in the The Walk / Atlantic City Outlets. Recent openings include Eddie Bauer, The Children’s Place, Adidas, Easy Spirit, and BCBG Max Azria. There’s still more construction going on, including locations for T-Mobile and G By Guess (which will actually be the third Guess-related location in the city, after the Guess located in The Pier at Caesar’s and the Guess Factory location elsewhere in the outlets).
What I got a kick out of where the notes on the windows of two stores. Both Jones New York (first photo) and Maidenform (second photo) stores are opening soon, apparently:


I have got to say that, from what I could see through the windows, the Jones New York store looks great. Perfectly folded and displayed merchandise, ready for customers to come in and tear it apart!
I’ve got some more photos from Atlantic City coming later in the week.
