Sur La Table confirmed that it will be reopening in Alexandria, according to a report by ALXnow.
The Seattle-based kitchen and houseware chain filed for bankruptcy in July 2020 and shut down 51 stores later that year, including the Old Town location at 326 King St. The storefront has remained empty since the store closed 16 months ago.
Sur La Table was bought out by Marquee Brands and CSC Generation. The reopening of the Alexandria store could be part of a larger effort to revamp the brand. The company, which was known for offering in-store cooking classes, created online classes and launched the Sur La Table Online Culinary Institute during the pandemic. The retailer is also launching an updated line of private label cookware.
Sur La Table posted jobs for a store manager and assistant store manager in Alexandria. An opening timeline has not been announced.
