Robinsons Store to Join Irvine Spectrum

Irvine Co. said that a Robinsons-May store will open at the Irvine Spectrum Center next fall, serving as an anchor for the shopping and entertainment center’s third and final phase.

The store is being created specifically for “non-mall locations,” said Irvine Co., which owns the Irvine center. At 140,000 square feet, the Spectrum store will be less than half the size of the Robinsons-May at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Robinsons-May could not be reached for comment. Robinsons-May is a division of May Department Stores Co., one of the nation’s largest department store companies. There are 55 Robinsons-May stores in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.
