Works starts on new LensCrafters store at One Loudoun

A big barricade has gone up around the future LensCrafters store in Ashburn as work on the future store gets underway.

LensCrafters is closing its location at the nearby Dulles Town Center and moving the store to One Loudoun.

That’s where it is taking over the nearly 5,000 s.f. space that years ago was the World of Beer restaurant. Most recently, it was a restaurant called Sullivan’s Cove, but that closed in 2023.

The Burn first reported the LensCrafters news back in April and the preliminary work — drafting architectural plans, securing a construction firm, etc. has been underway ever since.

Now, construction crews are inside the space and working hard to change it over from a vacant restaurant into a modern store offering eyeglasses and sunglasses.

While no opening date has been announced, early 2025 is a reasonable estimate.
