Comings and Goings: Allen Edmonds to Main Street

Another national retailer is headed for Westport’s Main Street. Allen Edmonds, a premium retailer of quality shoes and accessories, has leased 2,000 square feet of space at 69 Main St., said Anthony Malkin, president of Malkin Properties. The retailer will open in August, he said, and its immediate neighbors will be Nike and Theory, which signed leases with Malkin Properties in 2011. “This transaction further validates Westport’s Main Street and the appeal of Main Street to quality retailers who desire the pedestrian shopping experience it offers,” Malkin said. The three adjacent spaces had formerly been occupied by Gap Stores which consolidated into one building at 125 Main St. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
