Pottery Barn Teen Opening Shop at Galleria This Week

Pottery Barn is making a play for teenage bedrooms this fall, opening a holiday pop-up store at Edina's Galleria Shopping Center on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

The Galleria will house Minnesota's first PBteen store, which will showcase the brand's new holiday 2012 collection in time for eager shoppers. The temporary store will house PBteen's holiday gift assortment, including gadgets for boys and girls, fur-inspired bedding and lounge seating, jewelry and beauty storage and accessories in addition to the company's recently launched Burton home collection.

"When teens and their parents visit the new PBteen store, they can expect a customizable shopping experience," Galleria officials said, in a release. "Onsite design specialists will be available to help teens choose their favorite patterns and styles to create their own distinct bedrooms and lounge spaces."

A grand opening celebration is planned for Wednesday, Nov. 7, with free giveaways and a live D.J. playing music throughout the day. The first 250 customers to "check in" at the new PBteen store via Facebook or create a wishlist using the in-store Design Lab will receive a free PBteen back sack. On top of that, five lucky winners will find a surprise $250 gift card inside of their back sacks.

The Edina PBteen store will be open for business from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

The Edina location is one of five PBteen stores popping up throughout the country, as a sort of testing ground this holiday season. Other holiday pop-up locations include Cincinnati, Durham, Houston and Miami.

PBteen started back in 2003 as a catalog and website, growing to a support six permanent U.S. stores in existence today.
