A premium home goods retailer is setting its sights on Doylestown.

Williams Sonoma plans to debut at the redeveloped Barn Plaza shopping center at 1745 S. Easton Rd., according to Patch.

Phase I wrapped up in the third quarter of 2025, bringing Bucks County its first Whole Foods Market, a new Barnes & Noble, First Watch, Chipotle and The Juice Pod. Brixmor Property Group is now advancing Phase II, which will replace the former Regal Cinema with three multi-tenant buildings spanning 46,000 square feet.

Joining Williams Sonoma at the shopping center will be Burton’s Grill & Bar, Shake Shack, Just Salad, Starbucks and Sephora.

The retailer specializes in high-quality cookware, kitchen appliances, bakeware, cutlery and specialty foods. The brand also offers tabletop accessories, dining essentials, outdoor products and home furnishings, along with seasonal collections, entertaining supplies and gifts for home cooks and hosts.

Founded by Chuck Williams, Williams Sonoma opened its first store in 1956 after he became inspired by high-quality cookware during a trip to Europe. Williams purchased a hardware store in Sonoma, California, and transformed it into a shop specializing in French cookware.

Through cookbooks, catalogs and cooking schools, Williams helped introduce American home cooks to new culinary techniques and professional-grade kitchen tools.

Nearly 70 years later, the retailer operates more than 150 stores nationwide, along with locations around the world. The new location will expand the brand’s presence, joining the nearby King of Prussia store.

An official opening date has not yet been announced. Visit the Williams Sonoma website and follow along on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates.
