HomeGoods in Ridgefield? Not this year

In 2020, we were told by Jack deVilliers Vice President, Investments at Regency Centers, the owners of Ridgefield's Copps Hill Common shopping center, "We have executed a lease with HomeGoods to take approx 25,000 sqft of current Kohl's". With the sign now place (for nearly a year) at the entrance to Copps Hill Common, many locals are asking when?

Today, Eric Davidson, the Senior Manager of Communications at Regency Centers told us that Ridgefield shouldn't expect HomeGoods until 2022. "That's about all we have to share about it at this point," he said. When asked Davidson when he expects construction to begin and will provide details as soon as we have them.

HomeGoods, with a store less than ten miles from Ridgefield in neighboring Danbury, told us back in  2020, that they feel they are missing out on customers in the Ridgefield market as well as in communities to the south of Ridgefield. We were also told that Kohl's will remain open to shoppers during the construction period.

According to Regency Centers website, the company owns 44 properties in Connecticut. deVilliers told us that several HomeGoods stores are part of their portfolio as well as Danbury Greens shopping center at 115 Mill Plain Road, home to Trader Joe's.
