Women’s activewear store Athleta is opening today at 607 King Street in Old Town.
The store opens at 10 a.m. (so now-ish) and it open until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, Athleta is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
“From Tuesday through Sunday we’ll be running a raffle from local businesses, studios and gyms,” Assistant Manager Michael Heit said in an email. “Raffles include local coffee, southblock giftcards, three month and two month memberships to gyms and studios along with a free year membership to Snap Fitness on King Street!”
Heit said the store will also have smaller giveaway prizes this week, along with samples and coupons to other local businesses.
Currently, as Alexandria dabbles with bouts of cold weather, Heit said cold-weather tights are particularly popular.
“Our cold weather running tight, the Rainier, is by far our most popular item right now for the colder weather months,” Heit said. “We can’t wait to open for everyone to see the gorgeous new space, never would have guessed it had been a La Tasca for all those years!”
