Seven Corners Shopping Center

[5] A Raleigh's joined the center sometime after its opening, as did a Varsity Shop men's clothing outlet and a Brentano's book store.

Today, the bus stop sits near its original lower level location, at a transit station constructed by Fairfax County.

[8] With competition from a growing number of regional malls in the area, compounded by the bankruptcy of Garfinckel's in 1990, Raleigh's and Woodward & Lothrop closed in 1995.

As a result, Seven Corners is no longer an enclosed single shopping center, but essentially two outdoor strip malls.

The two levels are no longer connected by escalators; there is only a narrow exterior metal and concrete stairway at one end of the complex, which is rarely used by shoppers.

Once reopened, the new two level complex anchor stores included Shoppers Food Warehouse, Home Depot, Best Buy, Service Merchandise, and Barnes & Noble.
