Starbucks to Strip "Hear Music"

In an effort to concentrate on coffee, the Hear Music Starbucks store in The Lodge at Bellevue Square has transitioned to a regular Starbucks store. The music stations, along with the CD's that lined the store, have all been taken out. The store was 1 of the 4 stores across the country that had the Hear Music title.

This is one of the many things Starbucks has done to get back to their roots, and focus on coffee and the customer service experience!

Pearl Will Replace Trader Vic's

Yesterday we reported that Trader Vic's has closed its doors for good.

It has since come to our attention that Pearl will be the restaurant to take its place! What is Pearl you ask? The over 200-person dinning room will be transformed into an urban theme with a contemporary American menu.

The former chef and executive for Schwartz Brothers, Bradley Dickinson, along with the regional manager for Schwartz Brothers, Mikel Rogers, have worked on this concept for over a year. Recently they have been able to engage in locking down the Lincoln Square location which they are planning to open in mid-November.

Trader Vic's Closes For Good

Trader Vic’s in Lincoln Square has become victim to their hidden location, and the slumping economy, and has now closed their doors for good. As previously rumored, Trader Vic’s never really caught traction in Bellevue and has been attempting different forms of marketing (new and improved happy hours, free valet parking, coupons in the mail, etc.) to drive customers to the restaurant.

No word yet what will be replacing Trader Vic’s. What would you like to see replace it?

Two New Stores Add Style at Bellevue Square

Bellevue Square will soon be boasting 2 new high fashion specialty stores. 7 For All Mankind will be opening by Nordstrom and will be one of their few retail stores in the US.

Another stylish store is opening down by JC Penney called Free People. They describe their clothing as "smart, creative, confident and comfortable in all aspects of her being, free and adventurous, sweet to tough to tomboy to romantic." The brand is an offspring from Urban Outfitters.

These new stores should be opening near the end of the summer.

Gucci Will Open Store In Seattle

Gucci has chosen Seattle over Bellevue in their latest store opening announcement. This is one of the few luxury store announcements that has landed in Seattle over Bellevue in recent months.

Brands such as Neiman Marcus, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, and more have decided to call Downtown Bellevue home, over other large Pacific Northwest destinations such as Seattle and Portland.

One of the factors in this decision by Gucci was likely due to the recent addition in Nordstrom at Bellevue Square, where a “Gucci Shop” was added last spring.
