Lacoste apparel company opens location in Pentagon City mall

A French apparel brand perhaps best known for its iconic crocodile logo has opened a location in Pentagon City.

Lacoste opened this week on the first floor of the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, next to Nordstrom. The store sells clothing for men, women and children — including the brand’s popular polos — as well as footwear, bags and accessories.

“Lacoste brings iconic style and everyday versatility, which is exactly what our customers are shopping for right now,” general manager Wes Mehr said in a press release. “It’s a strong new arrival for spring and another reason to visit Fashion Centre at Pentagon City for what’s next in fashion.”

The store keeps the same hours as the mall itself: from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and on Sundays from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

Other recent additions to the mall include Timberland, Pop Mart and Tokyo Bae. In the coming months, the commercial center is expected to add Nova Jewelers, as well as Gatcha, a Japanese-themed arcade with claw and gachapon machines.

Two new dining options are also coming soon to the mall: Mezeh Mediterranean Grill and the Japanese restaurant Takumi.
