The Tannery shoe store will open its fourth and largest retail  location at 711 Boylston Street within the next week.  The two story 11,000 square foot location, formerly Restoration Hardware, will showcase the retailer’s largest collection of shoes, clothing and accessories.

The second level of the space will be home to the concept, “Curated at the Tannery,” which will be dedicated to a more youthful, technical and alternative product mix in contrast to the sophisticated, high-end product environment on the street level.

The Tannery is an independent shoe retailer owned by brothers Tarek and Talal Hassan, which has grown substantially since it first opened its doors 35 years ago.  With two locations in Cambridge and one already on Boylston street, this expansion to the Newbury St./Boylston/Back Bay submarket represents a marked changed in Back Bay retail leasing activity.

This opening is a welcome addition to the retail scene in Back Bay.  As of today, the build-out looks to be almost 100% complete as their window displays and inventory are already displayed and apparent through the expansive windows wrapping the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets.

On behalf of Boston Realty Advisors, we wish the Tannery and its proprietors much success and welcome them to the neighborhood.
