New businesses are coming to Sacramento’s Arden Fair mall. Find out what, when

Four new businesses are coming to Arden Fair this year as the mall broadens its leasing and brings in more retailers.

The four new businesses joining the mall are a Taco Bell Cantina, Fabletics, Levi’s and True Religion. Alongside these new retailers, Hot Dog on a Stick and Champ Sports will be reopening after both establishments went through remodelings.

“We’re seeing very strong leasing momentum at Arden Fair, and it’s not by accident,” said Nathan Spradlin, the marketing director for Arden Fair. “It’s the result of a focused, multi-year effort to elevate the tenant mix and overall experience.”

Taco Bell Cantina, is described as an “upscale, urban-concept” to the chain fast food spot, according to the restaurant’s website. The cantina is coming to Arden Fair in early June, Spradlin said.

Unlike its drive-thru counterpart, Taco Bell Cantina sells alcoholic beverages. There is one other Taco Bell Cantina in Sacramento at 900 K St.

Fabletics will be sporting its storefront in late June, selling activewear like leggings and sweatpants. Currently, the nearest Fabletics is located at the Westfield Galleria in Roseville.

The international denim brand, Levi’s, is opening at Arden Fair in July, Spradlin said. Levi’s calls itself one of the “world’s largest apparel companies,” and touts the title of a “global leader” in jeans, according to its website. Levi’s has 500 stores across the world in more than 100 countries.

True Religion, a denim clothing brand, is heading to the mall in November. Founded in 2002 in Los Angeles, this brand is known for its five pocket and “Super T stitch” design, its website said.

Hot Dog on a Stick is reopening its doors this week, while Champ Sports is finishing its remodel in early May. A Dick’s House of Sport — a Dick’s Sporting Goods retail concept described as a “playground for athletes” — is set to open in 2027 as well.

“What’s important is that this isn’t just adding stores, it’s about building something more meaningful for the Sacramento community,” Spradlin said.

Over the past two years, Spradlin said that Arden Fair has been “deliberate” in partnering with brands that “resonate with today’s customer.” These businesses are more relevant and is tune with where the retail industry is heading, he said.

“We’re continuing to evolve the center into a place where people come not just to shop, but to spend time, discover new brands, and enjoy experiences that feel fresh, dynamic and uniquely ours,” Spradlin said. “What you’re seeing now is really just the beginning of what’s ahead.”
