Big changes are coming at the Crossroads Mall, with new tenants coming in and others shuffling and expanding spaces.
“It’s all a work of dominos, trying to fit everyone in here that wants to be here, but also meeting all the demands our customers have,” said Susan Benton, property manager at Crossroads Mall. “We are getting a lot of questions. There’s a lot of feedback from the customers and public in general.”
Sal Lembo’s Pizzeria Guido has closed at the mall, but a number of its menu items are moving to Firenze Ristorante, Lembo’s other business at the mall. Pizzeria Guido will be replaced by another restaurant.
“We have a new Asian grill concept coming in that will open in late summer from the same owners who own Flying Fish in Seattle, but it won’t be Flying Fish,” Benton said.
Wiggleworks will take over the Paula’s Hallmark space at the end of March and expand its indoor playground, while Paula’s will take over the side of the vacated Silver Platters space facing the mall’s interior. Benton said Hand & Stone — a massage, facials and waxing franchise — will take over the exterior side of Platters. Paula’s and Hand & Stone are both anticipated to open in late June or early July.
Dress Barn has taken over its sister space at Dress Barn Woman, allowing two new tenants to open up at its old location, Benton said, adding those businesses won’t be announced until the leases are fully executed.
Ulta Beauty is taking over space at the former Famous Footwear site, and is expected to open in November, following construction.
The Bellevue Police Department’s Crossroads substation is also relocating from its space next to Chipotle to a larger unit next to Crunch Fitness to make room for a new Jamba Juice bar.
“We wanted to bring Jamba Juice into the center, so we’re relocating the police department into that area,” Benton said, adding the juice bar should open by late July or early August. The new BPD Crossroads substation is expected to open in April, Benton said.
