## History

[edit]

The town center opened in 2001 with anchors Sears, Hecht's, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, and Bed Bath & Beyond with Safeway and Best Buy soon to open.[4] Safeway opened in early 2002, with a 65,000 sq ft store that included an in-store Starbucks, a prepared foods department, and a dry cleaners in addition to a redesigned store layout.[5] Hecht's closed on September 9, 2006, and was converted into Macy's. Bed Bath & Beyond closed its doors on September 7, 2012.[6] LA Fitness opened its doors at the former Bed Bath & Beyond space on November 15, 2013.[7] In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Bowie Town Center, into Seritage Growth Properties.[8] On October 15, 2018, it was announced the Sears store would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide as a result of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Sears store closed January 6, 2019. Best Buy closed on Sept. 21, 2023.[9]
