Crabtree Valley Mall changes and a new Capital Blvd store. Here's what to know

Two Raleigh retail stories are moving this fall. Crabtree Valley Mall is bringing back its merchandising carts after a year away, while a national flooring chain is opening its first store in the city. Here are key takeaways: Retail merchandising carts are back in the hallways at Crabtree Valley Mall after owner Macerich removed them in September 2025 as part of a $60 million modernization. The mall has also added a DICK’S House of Sport in the former Sears space, a wine and cocktail bar called Arthur’s inside Belk and a new BoxLunch location. Atlanta-based Floor & Decor is opening its first Raleigh warehouse store at 3131 Capital Blvd., with a grand opening set for Thursday, Nov. 5. The specialty hard-surface flooring retailer, which operates more than 280 stores nationwide, quietly opened to customers on Oct. 15 and will mark the official launch with a ribbon cutting and a chance to win a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado.
