>> UPDATE: Click here for the current 2012 Retail Store Openings Complete List >>
The post-recession glut of empty retail real estate spaces and significantly lowered rental rates for retail store space motivated both small and large retail chains to open new store locations even before the economy and the retail industry fully recovered.
What follows is a complete and ongoing list of store openings that are planned to occur in the 2010 calendar year. Information for this store openings list comes from credible published sources that are available to the general public. The list is updated with additions and changes as official and verifiable store closing information is made public.
This list is arranged alphabetically, according to the name of the retail chain. The last update to this 2010 Store Openings list was made on 10-12-10. The most recent changes and additions are indicated with bold lettering.
