Shapewear Store Royal Lioness Coming to STRATA East in Downtown Allentown This Fall

City Center Investment Corp. (CCIC), the real estate development company whose major mixed-use development, City Center Allentown, is revitalizing downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania, announced today the shapewear/activewear store Royal Lioness has leased space in its new STRATA East building at 26 North Sixth Street.

Royal Lioness is a national brand based in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, that sells women’s shapewear, activewear and waist-trainers in stores and at www.royallioness.com. Owned and operated by founders Brian Nguah and Naadira Burke, Royal Lioness will occupy 740 square feet in STRATA East beginning in October 2017. The store will participate in downtown Allentown’s PARK FREE program. Royal Lioness will consolidate its store in Willow Grove Park Mall and its kiosk in Lehigh Valley Mall into its new downtown Allentown location.

"As a small business, being in a rapidly growing and vibrant city like Allentown is a no-brainer," said Nguah.

The STRATA East residential and retail building opened in May 2017. City Center is in active discussions with several retail prospects for the remaining STRATA East retail spaces.

City Center Allentown offers a vibrant, premier, walkable shopping destination in Downtown Allentown with several retail suites among new office buildings, newly renovated historic buildings and the new pedestrian ArtsWalk. City Center’s prime retail locations are near hip restaurants and bars, a flood of attractive new office space, new luxury apartments, the beautiful new Renaissance Allentown Hotel and the city’s new 10,000-seat hockey and events arena, PPL Center. The Shops at City Center offer free patron parking through the downtown’s PARK FREE program. Some of the best national brands and best local operators have taken advantage of City Center’s aggressive lease terms and first-class design and build services, including Starbucks, Rite Aid, Sorrelli Jewelry, AlphaGraphics, The Hamilton Kitchen & Bar, Vince’s Cheesesteaks and Lehigh Valley Health Network Fitness Center.
