HomeGoods closing Ashburn store, moving focus to Leesburg

The news we expected appears to be coming true. The HomeGoods home decor store in Ashburn will be closing as a new HomeGoods store in Leesburg gets ready to open.

The Burn first broke the news about the Leesburg HomeGoods store back in September. It’s taking over part of the former JoAnn Fabrics store space in the Fort Evans Plaza II shopping center. Construction is already well underway.

We speculated that with a HomeGoods in Sterling, one in the South Riding area, and now one in Leesburg — that the Ashburn store in the Ashbrook Commons shopping plaza was unlikely to stay open surrounded by three other nearby stores.

Now, that’s apparently been proven true as the more than 25,000 s.f. space in Ashburn is now listed as available for lease.

It’s a double punch for Ashbrook Commons, which is still trying to fill the adjacent 22,000 s.f. space left vacant when A.C. Moore, a craft store, closed several years back.

The shopping plaza has had a recent surge of new tenants, including Altos de Jalisco, a Mexican restaurant; Rumble Boxing, a boutique fitness center; a Smoothie King; and a soon-to-open restaurant called ThaiTastic Thai Cuisine.

The center is also getting a major cosmetic makeover in 2023, with a new paint color, wood-style accents and other new features. We wrote about the shopping center facelift here.

No word on exactly when the Ashburn store will close and the Leesburg store will open. One has to assume they will try to time them pretty close, sometime in the new year.

    Is the Home Goods in Ashbrook Commons moving to Leesburg or are they just closing?

      Not sure if they are calling it a move, or just one store closing, another opening, but the result is the same.
