Regency Court continues to enhance itself

Like I've said... Omaha may not have the single mega mall... but each of our smaller centers continue to add to their niche offerings.

Regency attracts clothier, eatery

A casual apparel store and a national steakhouse restaurant will open in Regency Court later this year.

Blue Willi's is based in Denmark and distributes to 25 countries worldwide. The Regency Court store, scheduled to open in early August, will carry a full line of men's and women's collections, with an emphasis on denim, made primarily from natural fibers. The 1,440-square-foot store will be across from Borsheim's Jewelry.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar will occupy a 7,000-square-foot, free-standing restaurant now under construction on the southeast corner of Regency's parking lot. It is expected to open this fall.

Fleming's will accommodate 200 people and features a private dining room. Its menu consists of aged beef, chops, fresh seafood, salads and vegetables and a wine list of more than 100 vintages.

The Omaha location is among several the company is opening this year. Other locations include Cleveland, Tucson, Naples and Coral Gables, Fla., San Jose and Pasadena, Calif., Denver, St. Louis and Baton Rouge, La. Fleming's was founded in December 1998 in Newport Beach, Calif.

John Lund, president of the Lund Co., owner of Regency Court, said in a press release that the Blue Willi's and Fleming's are part of the long-term plan to re-establish the center as the host to the most distinctive retailers and restaurants in Omaha. Both are new to Nebraska.

Among the other national and local retailers at the mall are Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Williams Sonoma, Ann Taylor Loft and the Linen Gallery, which opened last fall as part of a $10 million renovation project.

"The renaissance of Regency Court continues, with more exciting changes to be announced in the months to come," Lund said.
