Teen retailer Garage to open Carolina Place store

Teen retailer Garage  announced Wednesday it will open its first Charlotte store in Carolina Place Mall this spring.

The Canadian fashion company, which sells apparel and accessories geared towards young women, will be located in the center court of the mall next to Starbucks.

The news of Garage’s opening comes as many other teen retailers like Wet Seal and Delia’s are struggling to survive. Both recently filed for bankruptcy.

Garage’s parent company – Groupe Dynamite, which also owns a brand called Dynamite – operates more than 300 brick-and-mortar stores globally, according to its website. The company operates one other North Carolina store in Raleigh.
