FARMINGTON, Conn., February 25, 2008 - Westfarms will welcome P.F. Chang's China Bistro, renowned jeweler Tiffany & Co. - the first such store in Central Connecticut - and eight other stores this spring and summer.
Construction has also begun on a newly renovated northeast entrance that will be anchored by P.F. Chang's and another unannounced destination restaurant, both of which will offer outdoor dining in warmer months. P.F. Chang's is known for its modern Chinese cuisine, attentive service and tempting desserts all served in a stylish, high-energy bistro. Guests will enjoy plentiful seating and landscaping accents before passing beneath a dramatic elevated arch of glass and stone that ushers them into the shopping center. The project will be completed in the fall, to coincide with the restaurants' openings.
Others joining Westfarms include:
- Jessica McClintock, the ladies formalwear designer, opens its only boutique in Connecticut to dress girls and women for life's most important events.
- Victoria's Secret PINK, with loungewear, sleepwear, lingerie and accessories targeting college women.
- H&M, offering customers fashion and quality at the best price. H&M's own designers and buyers create the company's clothing collections - everything from fashion basics to the very latest trends for the entire family.
