New facial studio plans to open in Clarendon this fall, replacing Verizon store

Clarendon’s Verizon store is preparing to relocate this summer as a new facial studio hopes to open there this fall.

The Verizon at 2930 Clarendon Blvd is moving less than a block away to Le Pain Quotidien’s former space at 2900 Clarendon Blvd. Meanwhile, skin care studio franchise Glowbar intends to open at Verizon’s current address later this year.

Verizon hopes for summer relocation

  • “While we cannot confirm a specific date at this time, our teams confirm we are targeting a June opening for the Arlington Clarendon location,” a Verizon representative told ARLnow in an email.
  • The shop first opened around late 2017. Before that, the address was held by frozen yogurt shop Pinkberry.
  • Le Pain Quotidien’s space, meanwhile, has remained vacant since the bakery and cafe closed last January.

Glowbar plans fall opening

  • The esthetician studio now expects to open this October, after an initial planned opening between July and September.
  • Glowbar offers monthly memberships for its 30-minute facial treatments. It has a couple locations across the D.C. area, including in Georgetown.
