Stanford Shopping Center Reveals What's In Store

PALO ALTO, CA — Stanford University may be calling an end to the school year, but Stanford Shopping Center is just starting to hop for its summer season.

For starters, the center threw out the welcome mat for Silicon Valley Chandan Allen, who just opened her flagship boutique in the United States called Melange.

“Every style is designed with the Silicon Valley woman in mind, (one) who juggles between home, family, work, friends and looks forward to her happy hour.” said Allen, the founder and a renowned international designer.

Other openings slated for this summer include Blue Bottle Coffee, Flexa, Rodd & Gunn and Aesop. They join recently-opened stores: Rituals, Weekend MaxMara, UNTUCKit and Barry’s Bootcamp.

To get patrons in the mood, the center's annual Summer Jazz Concert series begins on June 20 and will run weekly until August 22.

Other events happening this summer include a safety fair on July 27, Back to School Bash on Aug. 17 and a week later the Fashion Funds the Cure, an event supporting National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
