Crabtree lands state's first Garage store

Crabtree Valley Mall has landed a new tenant to fill part of the former Restoration Hardware space on the lower level.

Garage, a women's clothing retailer along the lines of H&M and Forever 21, will occupy 4,000 square feet, said Sandra Geist, marketing director of the Raleigh mall.

It will be the Montreal retailer's first North Carolina store. Garage has about 100 locations — the majority in Canada. The closest store to the Triangle is at Tysons Corner in McLean, Va.

Construction on the Crabtree store begins in May and it should open this summer, Geist said.

Geist said the mall is close to signing a lease for the rest of the space, as well.
