Seven new brands will be expanding the offerings at the nation’s Top Retail Center Experience this year.
Alo Yoga, Fount, and Jo Malone London will follow Allbirds (opening this week) into Columbus’s Easton Town Center, whose four million-plus square foot of GLA houses more than 250 retail, entertainment, and food-and-beverage tenants.
New dining spots just opened at Easton are Kona Grill, Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce, and Weenie Wonder. Forty Deuce is a New York-style pizzeria with a “hidden” nightclub from Ivan Kane, who debuted this concept in New York and Las Vegas. It’s a family joint until 8pm when drinking-age clientele pass through the kitchen to gain entrance to the nightclub, where burlesque shows are backed by a live band.
It and Kona Grill, whose Hawaiian-inspired menu of ribeye meatballs and sea bass sliders serve customers across the US, will be joined on Easton’s restaurant roster by hot dog hotspot Weenie Wonder. Alo Yoga’s stock stars eco-aware and sweatshop-free activewear that’s designed to be in fashion on the street as well as in the studio.
