Looking Forward
In February 2014, Foxwoods celebrates its 22nd anniversary. The occasion is an observance of not only past accomplishments, but a celebration of what is to come. With a keen focus on operating the finest resort casino in North America, Foxwoods is in the midst of major development activity to revitalize the property.
Through a number of construction phases, the main concourse is being renovated with a new modern and bright look. Foxwoods will offer new retail stores and restaurant offerings. Recently, three new convenience outlets were opened in the food court, including Regina’s Pizza, Pequot Bay Seafood, and Fox Deli. A new Starbucks is forthcoming. Cedars Restaurant and Bar, voted socially by Foxwoods loyal guests as a Foxwoods favorite, was also renovated during the initial phase of the project.
Over the next several months, nine new luxurious and modern retail spaces will open with both new and existing product offerings. The new boutiques will feature a vibrant look of exquisite glass storefronts and modern fixtures. The new stores are expected to open in July 2014.
A full scale renovation of hotel rooms which began in 2012 is nearing completion.
Last fall, through a partnership with Tanger Outlets Centers and the Gordon Group, construction was started on the Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods. This 312,000 square foot outlet mall will be owned and operated by Tanger Outlets and will feature approximately 85 upscale branded and designer outlet retailers. The mall is slated to open Spring of 2015.
