Sephora to replace the recently closed Victoria’s Secret near Farragut Square

1050 Connecticut Avenue, NW

About a week ago we reported the closure of Victoria’s Secret (followed by closures of Art of Shaving, and Rochester Big & Tall in March.). In the Big and Tall closing post a commenter confirmed some scuttlebutt that I’d been hearing:

“DCRA permits show that Sephora is moving into at least some of this space – 6000 sq ft.”

STAY TUNED.
