LEGACY VILLAGE WELCOMES NEW RETAILERS
Home furnishings, fine French cookware and Pho restaurant opening
The New Year brings new merchants to Legacy Village, including Calico Home, the French cookware retailer Le Creuset, Thomasville Classic Home Brands and Gia Lai, featuring Vietnamese cuisine.
Thomasville- Classic Home Brands
The Thomasville Furniture Classic Home Brands gallery opened in November next to Restoration Hardware and marks the first time a Thomasville store has been part of a lifestyle center shopping experience.
“Usually we’re a destination store where clients have to make the trip to a stand alone gallery, but now customers can incorporate shopping for luxury home goods into an entire day of shopping, dining and family fun,” said General Manager Jeremy Bowling.
In addition to classic and traditional designs Thomasville is known for, the new store showcases updated looks from fabric to finish in a variety of styles, motifs and price points.
Calico Home
Opening March 2 on Main Street next to Starbucks, Calico Home will offer decorative fabrics, custom upholstered furniture and custom window treatments. The store, formerly known as Calico Corners, offers reupholstered furniture, and makes slipcovers, table skirts, pillows and more to transform rooms and help customers create beautiful homes.
“We are very excited about moving to Legacy Village, with the high concentration of upscale retailers and home-oriented stores,” said Calico Home spokesperson Jan Jessup. “When we reviewed our customer files, we realized that a move to Legacy Village would be convenient for many of our customers.”
The current store in Beachwood will close prior to the Legacy Village opening.
Le Creuset
The fine French cookware retailer Le Creuset – the first in Northern Ohio - opened its doors one month ago on Main Street and has big plans for its Legacy Village location.
“We are thrilled to have a demonstration kitchen in this store so we can show folks who perhaps have never used our products, how easy and effective it is to cook with Enameled Cast iron,” said Le Creuset spokesperson Colleen Jezersek. Popular products also include stainless cookware, stoneware bakeware and silicone tools.
Jezersek said choosing the location was simple, due to the huge food movement in the Greater Cleveland area, with emphasis on cooking and entertaining. The store plans to host cooking demonstrations, book signings and more.
Gia Lai
Vietnamese cuisine will be the theme at the new restaurant Gia Lai, scheduled to open in March near Talbots. The restaurant will focus on three menu “staples:” Pho, a traditional Vietnamese meal similar to a combination of a soup and noodle dish; Broken Rice, a hearty dish consisting of a choice of hearty meats, fresh vegetables or seafood, along with steaming broken rice; and Banh Mi, a Vietnamese submarine sandwich.
In addition - the restaurant promises quick service with a first-class experience.
“We coined the phrase quick-service-fine-dining to describe how the process of ordering will transpire,” said Gia Lai’s Kelly Wherley. “Patrons will order at a counter, select a table and meals will be efficiently prepared and presented to them.”
