A discount retail chain has set its sights on a former grocery store in the Lakeside area for its latest local expansion.
Gabe’s, a West Virginia-based chain selling off-price clothing, home goods, pantry items and other goods, plans to open a new outpost at 5700 Brook Road, taking over the anchor space at Brook Run Shopping Center.
The store plans to open in its approximately 60,000-square-foot space in late June, per the company’s website.
The store appears slated to be the third Gabe’s location in the Greater Richmond area, joining 11003 Hull Street Road near Brandermill and 1040 Temple Ave. in Colonial Heights, according to the company’s website.
The company didn’t respond to a request for comment Friday.
The space was once home to grocery store Big Apple Neighborhood Market, which closed there in 2018 after fewer than six months of operation. Before Big Apple, the space was occupied by Martin’s Food Markets, which shuttered in 2017.
In other local retail news, TJ Maxx’s parent company is preparing to open a location of its off-price outdoors store Sierra and discounted home goods retailer Homesense in a former Stein Mart space in Short Pump.
