Westfarms Mall Adding To Its Store Lineup

WEST HARTFORD/FARMINGTON, CT —The retail lineup at Westfarms mall is expanding with the addition of a new luxury brand and what officials are touting as "unique store offerings" for the holiday season.

Set to make its Hartford market debut at Westfarms next year is Warby Parker, a fast-growing eyewear brand. Westfarms officials described Warby Parker as, "a transformative fashion brand that offers vintage-inspired eyewear with a fashion-forward twist." The store will be located on the upper level in center court and open "in the new year," mall officials said.

Westfarms has added the following festive stores for holiday shopping season:

• Luxury music brand Yamaha Pianos. The collection of pianos can be seen in Westfarms Center Court.
• See's Candies. A longtime Westfarms holiday retailer will be back with its chocolates, brittle, toffee and lollipops made since 1921. See's will be located by Center Court on the lower level.
• Christmas Treasures: Christmas Treasures features holiday gifts, customizable ornaments and holiday decorations. The seasonal store is located on the lower level near Center Court.

The popular BRIO Tuscan Grille, located at the upper level's main entrance, is reopening its doors on Dec. 7. The restaurant is known for its flavorful menu of from-scratch made Italian Mediterranean-inspired seafood, steaks, pasta and, of course, its wildly popular flatbread pizzas. It is the only location in the greater Hartford market.

"We are proud of our growth and the commitment to our retailers and shoppers at Westfarms during these unique times," said General Manager Kevin Keenan. "We remain dedicated to enhancing our shopping experience with first to the area new luxury brands and seasonal favorites that will complement our existing line up at Westfarms."

Westfarms, located on the West Hartford-Farmington line, features 160 retailers and restaurants.
