If you’ve been watching the Northern Virginia shopping scene, you’ve likely noticed one thing: Tysons Galleria isn’t just keeping up - it’s leveling up. Recent announcements show Tysons Galleria’s commitment to premium retail experiences. With five new retailers moving in (including headline names like Dolce & Gabbana and Alo), the mall is doubling down on its luxury positioning.

New Retailers Enhance Luxury Identity
Located at 2001 International Drive, the 800,000-square-foot Tysons Galleria is a three-level super-regional mall owned by Brookfield Properties, which acquired the site in 2018. Tysons Galleria Mall has added a trio of clothing retailers to its tenant roster: Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana, yoga apparel retailer Alo, and the knitwear-focused St. John.
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana signed a 4,004-square-foot lease on the second floor of the mall, where it will sell handbags, shoes and other accessories. According to Fairfax County permits, the store measures 4,004 square feet in size, and it sells handbags, shoes and other accessories.

Tysons Galleria has also added Alo Yoga, which made its Virginia debut with an opening on Sept. 15. Alo inked a lease for 3,907 square feet on the first level of the mall, and will offer the brand’s workout clothes, sneakers and yoga-related accessories such as mats and towels. Founded in Los Angeles in 2007, the company says it aims to create comfortable yet stylish clothes that are equally suited for working out or walking down the street. Alo offers yoga classes at some of its stores, including one in Georgetown.
