Abercrombie & Fitch, Herman Miller Set to Land at Pinecrest This Fall and Winter

Pinecrest shoppers will soon have two new reasons to visit the Orange center. Abercrombie & Fitch is preparing to open a flagship store this fall, and furniture brand Herman Miller is expected to follow this winter. Tanger, the property owner, announced the additions earlier this year as part of a broader push to fill out the retail mix at the 58 acre lifestyle destination off I 271 at Harvard Road. What Is Coming and When Abercrombie & Fitch is targeting a fall opening, with reports pointing to a September debut for the location. The store will offer men's and women's casual apparel and accessories. Herman Miller, known for modern furniture design, is expected to open in the winter, likely around the holiday season. These two brands are part of a larger wave of new tenants at Pinecrest this year. Women's fashion brand Aritzia and jewelry retailer Gorjana were also announced alongside Abercrombie & Fitch and Herman Miller, though Gorjana's opening was slated for late summer and Aritzia has not confirmed a firm date. Why Tanger Is Expanding the Lineup Tanger has been steadily adding brands to Pinecrest since 2025, when it welcomed Tecovas, Toastique, Center Court, LaserAway, TravisMathew and Rising Boutique. The company says the new additions reflect a strategy to keep the center competitive and appealing to shoppers across Northeast Ohio. "Pinecrest is assembling a best in class roster of brands that aligns with today's consumer and amplifies the momentum of this market," said Maxine Miller, Tanger's assistant vice president of lifestyle leasing. Officials have also indicated plans to develop additional space near the center for more national retailers, along with new parking to support the growing tenant base. A Newer Development With a Complicated Past Pinecrest may feel like a longtime Northeast Ohio fixture, but the center only opened in May 2018. Voters in Orange approved the zoning that made the project possible back in November 2013, and developers Fairmount Properties and DiGeronimo Companies built the $230 million mixed use center on land off I 271 and Harvard Road. Silverspot Cinema became the first anchor tenant in June 2018, followed by Whole Foods Market two months later. Growth continued quickly, and early additions like J. Crew and Sephora joined within the first year. The center has not had a smooth run since then. Financial pressure tied to the COVID 19 pandemic forced the original developers to give up the property in October 2020, and lender Square Mile Capital Management took ownership. Tanger, a publicly traded outlet and open air retail operator based in North Carolina, purchased Pinecrest for 167 million dollars in February 2025 and has led the current wave of new leasing activity. What This Means for Shoppers Local shoppers who want Abercrombie & Fitch or Herman Miller products have had to travel outside the immediate area. Once both stores open, Pinecrest will offer a broader range of apparel and home goods options without a longer drive. Exact opening dates have not been finalized, so shoppers should watch Pinecrest's official channels for confirmation. FAQs When will Abercrombie & Fitch open at Pinecrest?
