WHITE MARSH – On Friday, the AVENUE at White Marsh announced the addition of World Market to the mall’s retail mix.
World Market plans to open a 18,500 square meter location next to Nike in spring 2024. The Market is a retail outlet offering a diverse selection of furniture, home accessories, gifts and specialties from around the world.
In 1959, World Market opened its first location on the waterfront of San Francisco’s famous Fisherman’s Wharf. The goal was to provide customers with a place to shop for unique decorations and groceries that cannot be found in traditional retail stores.
“Our stores offer customers inspiration and solutions for decorating, hospitality and gifting throughout the year, as well as an unparalleled Christmas market with traditional international sweets and unique ornaments and decorations,” says a press release from World Market.
Gordon Miller, anchor leasing associate for Federal Realty, said the store expansion reinforces The AVENUE’s vision of providing a community destination where shoppers can find almost anything they need.
“We believe that World Market, a leader in the housewares industry, will be an excellent addition to our existing retailers at THE AVENUE at White Marsh,” said Miller. “Combined with our recent announcement that Silver Diner will open at the center and a newly renovated Barnes & Noble will reopen this summer, this reinforces our vision of providing the community with a diverse destination.”
