The Annapolis mall has undergone some turnover in the past few months.

bareMinerals and BrookieGirl Bath + Body Care both shuttered their stores around the New Year.

On the other hand, the mall is also welcoming new tenants.

Capital Teas returned to the mall in November 2022.

L'Antico Gusto Italiano will soon open an eatery in the food court. The team behind InGrano will launch a new cafe next to Build-A-Bear Workshop.

The Original Pancake House will debut across from the California Pizza Kitchen. And Miller's Ale House will open a stand-alone bar and restaurant outside the mall this winter.
