To make way for Chico’s and Coldwater Creek, Hallmark
and Howard’s Optique will relocate to Bradley Fair’s new building
located in front of Bed Bath & Beyond.
Hallmark will occupy a 3,600 sq.-ft. space and Howard’s Optique
will occupy 1,100 sq. ft. Howard’s will be open in the new location
by this weekend. Hallmark is projected to open in its new location
by late May. Announcements for the remaining space will be made

A project of Laham Development Company, Bradley Fair opened in November 1990
and has recently added several new stores including Ultimate Electronics,
which opened in October 2003; and Jos. A. Bank menswear retailer,
which opened in February. Openings are planned on April 26 for
Bella Luna Café and May 1 for Backwoods, bringing the total number
of stores and restaurants to 50.
As Wichita’s premier lifestyle center, the 263,000
sq.-ft. Bradley Fair offers a blend of local, regional and national
retail concepts that currently includes eight restaurants and 40
stores. Among the focal points of the center is a scenic open-air
plaza that hosts a variety of community and charitable events and
fireworks displays. The plaza area features a year-round fountain,
two island waterfalls, a lake, extensive landscaping and tiered
seating.
Throughout the summer months Bradley Fair’s plaza
is host to a mix of national, regional and local entertainment
during its annual concerts, presented complimentary to the community.
Soon to enter its fifth season, approximately 25,000 attended the
2003 concerts which featured nine musical events from June through
August. The Celebrate America concert held in conjunction with
the July 4th holiday features a spectacular aerial fireworks display
over Bradley Fair lake.
Project architect for Bradley Fair is Shelden
Architecture. J.P. Weigand & Sons is exclusive leasing agent for Bradley Fair.
