Vuori store to replace Eddie Bauer in downtown Naperville; Steakhouse taking over Catch 35...
Retail and dining shifts in downtown Naperville point to evolving tenant mix and opportunity. A new Vuori store — a contemporary activewear brand expanding its footprint — will replace the Eddie Bauer storefront in the Main Place complex after Eddie Bauer elected not to renew its lease. The Vuori opening is expected in roughly three months, bringing a lifestyle-oriented soft-goods tenant into a core downtown location.
In the same trade area, the former Catch 35 space on Washington Street is set to become The Belmont steakhouse from the Empire Restaurant Group, signaling continued interest in dining concepts with strong local draw.
These changes reflect broader patterns in secondary downtown corridors where traditional specialty apparel is giving way to experiential retail and lifestyle brands, and where food & beverage continues to play a key role in activating high-traffic streets
