DSW joins string of new retailers at The Mall at Prince Georges

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — DSW has opened its newest store at The Mall at Prince Georges, the latest new retailer to join the mall in Hyattsville, Maryland, as it wraps up a $30 million makeover.

DSW now has close to two dozen stores in the D.C. area.

“We’re excited to open a new shopping destination in the Hyattsville area,” said DSW Chief Operating Officer Michele Love. “As DSW’s footprint continues to grow, we’re committed to deliver outstanding value across national and exclusive brands.”

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, which owns The Mall at Prince Georges, started a major repositioning of the mall in late 2016 that included new exteriors, entrances and a redesigned interior.

More than 70 percent of non-anchor space includes new storefronts.

Other retailers coming soon include Five Below, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Grand Jewels, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill and ULTA.

The Mall at Prince Georges opened in 1959. It was last renovated in 2001, when Target joined as an anchor.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
