There have been a significant number of stores that will be changing locations, as well as some that have closed in June. Below is what we’ve gathered from many different sources based on which are closed, as well as where some of the stores that may relocate.
Stores Moving to New Locations:
- Fuego – Fuego had a temporary location across the way from the Sweet Factory on the 1st floor. Last weekend was their final few days in that spot. They will be moving to an undisclosed new location within the mall.
- Taco Del Mar – Taco Del Mar will be moving one store down into the old The Greek Kitchen location.
- Vans – Vans will move into the space previously occupied by Taco Del Mar. This new store will be larger than their current store size.
- Coldwater Creek – Coldwater Creek will be moving to the second floor within the Nordstrom wing of Bellevue Square.
- Popcorn Pavilion – Not only is Popcorn Pavilion changing their location, but so is their name. The Popcorn Pavilion will become KuKuRuza. They will take over the space that Mrs. Fields previously occupied.
- Escape Outdoors – Escape Outdoors will move across the way from The North Face where Billabong and Element previously had been occupying space. This seems to be an attempt at consolidating the outdoor outfitters. Who will be next? Patagonia?
Stores Closed/Closing:
- Billabong
- Element
- Montblanc
- The Greek Kitchen
- Mrs. Fields
- New Balance
- Urban Dogs
- Moxie

The mall is looking pretty sad right now, with all the closed stores. 🙁
That’s why we will NEVER go into Bellevue Square. They move you around at your expense and their convience!
A couple of stores on the list have always confounded me.
1. How does a Taco Del Mar in a ‘premium’ mall make enough profit to pay the rent.
2. Why there are standalone Mont Blanc stores (anywhere in the world)? Can’t imagine there are enough people buying overpriced pens. Only to sign that occasional check.
I heard H&M will be going in where Coldwater Creek currently is, and that it will be 2 levels, which means Guess will probably relocate.
boo, I liked Urban Dogs. Can we get a Zara
A friend who works at the mall informed me that Anthropologie is moving from the Bravern to Bellevue Square this Winter!
What happened to Mrs Fields? will they open somewhere else?
I would not be surprised if all those high-end retailers at the Bravern jump ship once the Bel Square/Lincoln Square expansion project opens. That complex is in deep trouble.
Any word on what will be taking up the Munchbar space? Would love to see a sports bar like Buffalo Wild Wings or Yard House open up there.
Impress is closing, as well.
I just saw today that Impress closed. When I heard the reason why I was appalled. Mngmt basically kicked them out for some high end cosmetic shop! Ya know, because there are not enough stores at Bell Sq that sell make up products!
Impress was a great store there. I’ll miss them and the people who staffed it.
With Impress gone probably won’t go to Bel sq much…they were the reason I went and stopped at other places!! I agree another makeup store!!!!
