Potomac Mills

Potomac Mills is a shopping mall located in Woodbridge, Virginia in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Located near Interstate 95 between Smoketown Road, Telegraph Road and the Prince William Parkway. Tenants include Nordstrom Rack, Saks Fifth Avenue, Costco Wholesale, IKEA, Marshalls & HomeGoods, Buy Buy Baby, Christmas Tree Shops, JCPenney, Sears Outlet, T.J. Maxx, and Bloomingdale's Outlet.
== History ==
The mall was opened on September 19, 1985. Originally, the mall's name was the "Washington Outlet Mall" during planning stages, however it was later renamed to "Potomac Mills". In March 2018, the 140-foot sign was caused to tilt due to strong wind gusts, which prompted to be taken down. Near the end of March 2019, the sign would be seen with an updated design.
In 1992, Walmart opened in the mall's area. Sam's Club opened next to Walmart in 1993.
The mall was the first in the Mills Corporation's chain of shopping malls, and has over 225 retailers and features an 18-screen AMC movie theater. The mall was expanded in 1993, adding a wing anchored by Marshalls and JCPenney, along with a Burlington Coat Factory. Cohoes Fashions was also an early tenant and later closed in 1987, being replaced by a Woodward & Lothrop outlet store. Other original tenants included IKEA, Sears outlet and Waccamaw Pottery. The IKEA location at Potomac Mills was one of the company's earliest retail outlets in America, and proved so popular that it eventually required a new, dedicated building adjacent to the primary Potomac Mills complex.
