Stonecreek Village
welcomes REI and nears
First Phase Grand Opening
ann Taylor Loft, eddie Bauer, Coldwater Creek,
Peet’s Coffee & Tea, and more to open soon
On April 18, Stockton-based Stone Brothers & Associates and
Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), a national retail cooperative
providing quality outdoor gear and clothing, opened
Stockton’s first REI. This outdoor specialty store offers top recreation
brands, as well as full-service ski and bike shops, clinics, presentations,
and special events. The new 26,000 square-foot, two-story store
will anchor the 15-acre Stonecreek Village at the corner of Pacific Avenue
and West Robinwood Drive, in Stockton.
In an effort to be environmentally aware, the new REI building
has incorporated several “green” elements into its design, including
energy efficient technology that reduces the use of electricity; ambient
air sensing controls to monitor temperature and CO2 levels; and
even bike racks and shower facilities to encourage alternative transportation
methods for employees.
REI will soon be joined by several other retailers and restaurants
when Stonecreek Village celebrates the first phase grand opening, on
Friday, June 6, with activities, entertainment, refreshments, giveaways
including gift cards from $5 to $500, and more. Joining the recently
opened BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse (September 2007) will be several
exciting food options, many which are “firsts” to the Stockton
SPOnSOReD eDiTORiaL
market. Set to open next month, shoppers will enjoy fresh roasted
coffees, hand-selected teas, and tasty pastries at Peet’s Coffee & Tea,
as well as fruit smoothies, fresh juices, organic coffee, and healthy
snacks from Juice It Up!
Stonecreek Village is Stockton’s first upscale lifestyle center featuring
retail, restaurant, and office space offerings designed to serve as a
gathering place for Stockton residents and visitors. Once complete, the
center will offer nearly twenty shops, restaurants, and specialty stores
including Ann Taylor Loft, Aveda Lifestyle Salon, Eddie Bauer, Gymboree,
Talbot’s, Lane Bryant, Cacique, Coldwater Creek, J. Jill, Jos. A.
Bank, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Juice It Up!,
Boudin SF, and Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill. The center serves as one
of the key four corners of Stockton’s busy retail hub at the intersection
of Pacific Avenue and Robinhood Drive – ideally positioned to become
the “Main and Main” of North Stockton. For leasing information, contact
