The South Bay's retail therapy upgrades continue with Del Amo Fashion Center, which officially unveiled its majorly revamped digs last Friday. It's the second phase of the Torrance shopping center's multimillion-dollar expansion, which brings an additional 400,000 square feet, a fancy two-level fashion wing, a 700-plus-seat dining area, and over 100 new retailers.
As mentioned, now-open directory upgrades include Nyx Cosmetics's first beauty boutique, two-story Zara and H&M stores (each clocking in at 25,000 square feet), a 15,000-square-foot Victoria's Secret flagship, and a 138,000-square-foot Nordstrom (previously located at the South Bay Galleria). Other additions include South Bay exclusives like Kate Spade, Vince Camuto, Vera Bradley and home furnishings retailer Z Gallerie's relocated store; plus Melissa Shoes's first LA outpost, Mac Cosmetics, Sephora, Kiehl's Since 1851, and many more.
On top of scoring tons more shopping options, LA's largest mall (about 2.1 million square feet, making it the biggest in the western US) is kicking off construction on its parking garage, which will offer 2,000 more spaces between its new Outdoor Village and the Marriott Hotel. As far as grub, Del Amo's menu includes iconic Hollywood eatery Pink's Hot Dogs, and will soon welcome Lemonade, Din Tai Fung, Oz-based Sumo Salad's first Stateside location, and more foodie-focused options.
Oh, and about that Uniqlo: the Japanese fast fashion brand tells us its opening has been rescheduled for Friday, October 23rd.
