Urban Outfitters Comes To Suburbia

In what is apparently big retail news, Urban Outfitters will move into the Church Lane space formerly occupied by Metro Swimshop.

It doesn’t seem like that big a space.  But it will take Urban Outfitters a year to redo the building.  Occupancy is scheduled for April 2012.

Westport Patch — which first reported this story — says that casual clothier Urban Outfitters “caters to a younger crowd (teens and young adults)” than its Westport Anthropologie store, which it also owns.

Welcome to Westport, one more store that is apparently very cool and important, which I will never in a bajillion years set foot in.
