Lansburgh's - Branch Stores

Branch Stores

In 1955, Lansburgh's opened its first suburban branch at Langley Park, Maryland followed in 1959, with a $2.5 million, 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) branch at Shirlington Shopping Center in Arlington, Virginia. The chain was slow to open other suburban branches. The 160,000-square-foot (15,000 m2) store at Tysons Corner International Shopping Center opened on October 19, 1969, after protracted battles regarding leases dating back to 1962. Because of that fight, the chain was slow to expand to other malls opening the Washington, D.C. suburbs. This was followed by the store at Rockville Mall on February 14, 1972, and a 160,000-square-foot (15,000 m2) store at Springfield Mall (later Korvettes, then SpringFest Food Court/AMC) in March 1973.
