Pottery Barn Kids and Williams Sonoma will return to Easton Town Center on Friday, October 23, 2026. The brands are opening adjacent stores at the north end of the Easton Station building.
Why it matters
The return of these high-traffic brands signals a renewed effort to anchor the Easton Station building with legacy home-retail tenants after previous exits. Their presence is part of a broader shift in the 250-business center to refine the tenant mix through site consolidation.
Pottery Barn Kids returns to Easton Town Center after 16 years, while Williams Sonoma re-enters the 250-business property 5 years after its 2021 closure. Both retailers are moving into the north end of the Easton Station building.
The players
Pottery Barn Kids
A children's furniture and home decor retailer founded in 1999 and owned by Williams-Sonoma Inc.
Williams Sonoma
A luxury kitchenware and home furnishings retailer operated by Williams-Sonoma Inc.
Williams-Sonoma Inc.
A multi-brand home furnishings specialty retailer that manages a portfolio of established consumer-facing brands.
Easton Town Center
A large-scale, 250-business retail and entertainment development in Columbus serving as a regional shopping destination.
The details
The two brands are owned by parent company Williams-Sonoma Inc. and will occupy the same structure at the north end of the Easton Station building. This site consolidation reflects a strategic return to the Columbus market, placing both brands in the same building as recently opened retailers like MINISO Land. These openings follow other recent activity at the complex, such as the October 9, 2026, opening of Teriyaki Madness at 3950 Morse Crossing.
Timeline

October 23, 2026: Pottery Barn Kids and Williams Sonoma are scheduled to open at Easton Town Center.
Market Landscape
The return of these brands to Easton Town Center follows a industry trend of large retailers prioritizing consolidated presence in established, high-traffic mixed-use developments. This move signals a departure from the 2021 trend of store closures, favoring centralized footprints in successful retail hubs.
Operators in the Columbus retail sector should monitor these openings as indicators of renewed demand for space within the Easton Station building. The entry of major national brands into adjacent units may drive higher foot traffic to nearby food and retail businesses in the corridor.
The takeaway
Retailers should track the tenant composition at Easton Station to understand how larger national brands are repurposing space in the Columbus market. Watch the foot traffic metrics around October 23, 2026, to determine if these high-profile arrivals lift sales for neighboring small-business tenants.
What happens next
Suitsupply is scheduled to open its new location at Easton Town Center in late November or early December 2026.
