A national women’s clothing retailer has chosen Short Pump for its first store in Virginia.

Dry Goods, which operates more than 80 stores across 21 states, is planning to open a shop in Short Pump Town Center later this summer, company spokeswoman Jessica Stoltz confirmed this week.

The chain has taken over a storefront on the ground floor of the mall near the Dick’s Sporting Goods store.

Dry Goods sells women’s tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes and accessories. Blouses and shirts are priced $24 to $50, dresses cost $38 to $79 and jeans are $64 to $84 on the company’s online store.

Dry Goods is a subsidiary of Davenport, Iowa-based department store chain Von Maur, which has a footprint focused in the Midwest. The first Dry Goods store opened in Illinois in 2010. Today, a little under half its locations are split among Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, per the company’s website.

In addition to the Short Pump store marking its entrance into Virginia, Dry Goods earlier this month announced plans to open its first stores in New Jersey and Delaware by the end of 2024.

Dry Goods is joining other clothing stores at Short Pump Town Center such as Windsor, Psycho Bunny and Vineyard Vines. Dillard’s and Macy’s stores anchor the Short Pump mall.
