Barnes & Noble

Barnes and Noble

After an eight-month absence, a store best known for books and all things paper reopened in November. Though the new footprint is much smaller — 4,000 square feet versus the original 25,000 square feet — a more efficient layout ensures enough books, games, toys, stationary, and journals to make bibliophiles and papyrophiliacs swoon.

Bluejay Bikes

Bluejay Bikes

An e-bike business from founder Jennifer Cohen Bogan began online in 2109 and pivoted to IRL, opening its Corte Madera warehouse to the public in late 2022.

Lucid

The company behind the self-proclaimed longest range, fastest charging electric car on the market celebrated the grand opening of its 35th studio at the Village at Corte Madera on March 18. One of the company’s models, Lucid Air Grand Touring, features an official EPA estimated 516 miles of range or 1,050 horsepower. The Newark-based car company, which delivered its first car in October, 2021, received the 2022 Motor Trend Car of the Year Award for the first car it ever produced, the somewhat smaller Lucid Air. With proprietary engine technology developed in-house, cars boast two carry-on suitcase-sized, synchronous motors and can charge 300 miles in 20 minutes. The smaller engine carriages mean more room for people and stuff – up to five people and luggage can comfortably fit in either car. “We have been eager to open a location in the North Bay, an area known for its expansive natural beauty and commitment to acting on climate change,” said Zak Edson, Vice President of Sales and Service, Lucid Group. Other Bay Area studio locations include San Jose and Millbrae.

Birkenstock

Birkenstock

After opening its own retail stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan, New York and in Venice Beach, California, the footwear brand beloved for its cork footbed opened in the Marin Country Mart in December. The German health and wellness business, whose roots date back to 1774, launched its American story from Marin in 1966 with the help of Margot Fraser, who brought the brand to the United States and set up offices here — first in Santa Cruz, then San Rafael, before planting Birkenstock USA in Novato in 1992. Each store’s design is unique, showcasing the local community. For Marin, Birkenstock partnered with Marin-based artist Leo Bersamina, whose large-scale, in-store artwork, “Driftwood Footbed,” not only celebrates the natural landscape of Marin County, but is made of found driftwood from the Marin coast. Though there is no single “Birk” style that defines Marin, the brand’s iconic sandals — like the Boston clog which was all the rage last summer, or the two-strap Arizona, or thong-style Gizeh — are available at the store, as are a growing range of products for women, men and kids. Look for sneakers, shoes, boots, clogs, slippers, socks and a curated selection of limited-edition designer collaboration styles. “It’s all about the footbed,” says Dania Shiblaq, Birkenstock USA’s director of public relations. We bet “lifers,” Birkenstock devotees who keep their shoes for — ahem — forever, couldn’t agree more.

Brownie’s Pet Boutique

Animal lovers and parents to a pug named Brownie, owner Simon Contreras and his wife, Maria Nieto, were stunned by the dog culture when they first arrived in Marin from Chile. Turning their passion into a business was a natural next step. With a focus on food and accessories for cats and dogs, their store, which opened in March, includes a selection of organic and/or human grade ingredients sourced from mostly small U.S. companies. Collars, leashes and apparel are handmade in the United States. “We are a family that bet on this county to establish a project because of its people, culture and beautiful landscapes,” Contreras says.
