Easton is adding five new storefronts, four retail shops and one fast-casual restaurant. The headliner is MINISO Land, which MINISO says is the first of its kind in the country. What Now Columbus put the store at about 15,000 square feet.

The lineup was announced in an Easton news release in August: MINISO Land, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn Kids, Suitsupply and Teriyaki Madness. For the wave of arrivals that came before this one, here’s what’s new at Easton right now.

MINISO Land sits on Level 1 of the Easton Station building, directly across from Bath & Body Works. MINISO calls the format a theme park-style store, and the concept leans hard into characters. What Now reported themed areas built around Stitch and Peanuts, plus the company’s own characters YOYO, Kumaru, Angry Aimee and Carrot Street. YOYO, which MINISO says is one of its fastest-growing characters, launched in 2025 and has a pumpkin-shaped head with dot eyes. Expect blind boxes, plushies, collectibles and themed merchandise throughout.

Update, October 19th: The grand opening was Saturday, October 17th, MINISO announced on its website. The first 100 customers on opening day got a free blind box goodie bag, and anyone who spent $50 or more got a free YOYO tote while supplies lasted. There was 10% off all weekend. The store also hosted mascot meet-and-greets and product demos.

Williams Sonoma returns this fall at the north end of the Easton Station building. The cookware brand was an Easton original: its store at 4009 Easton Station opened with the center in 1999 and closed in 2021, when the company was cutting back its stores nationwide, NBC4 reported.

Pottery Barn Kids, its sibling brand under Williams-Sonoma, Inc., also returns this fall to the north end of the same building. Its earlier Easton location closed in 2010, according to NBC4.

All three Easton Station newcomers are moving into reworked space that once held Amazon Style, the experimental Amazon clothing store, according to Chain Store Age.

Teriyaki Madness is the geographic outlier, at 3950 Morse Crossing in the retail strip just west of the mall. The Denver-based fast-casual chain builds teriyaki bowls with chicken, steak, salmon or tofu over rice or yakisoba noodles. Easton’s website now lists it as open.
