Village at Meridian Expansion: What's Opening in 2026 and 2027

The Village at Meridian has become a familiar gathering place in the Treasure Valley, offering a mix of shopping, dining, entertainment, and community events. Now, a major expansion is bringing even more options to the area, including several brands opening their first Idaho locations.

The nearly 80,000-square-foot addition along the west side of The Village, toward Eagle Road, introduces new retail spaces, restaurants, and wellness experiences. With the first businesses already welcoming visitors and additional openings planned through 2027, the project represents another chapter in Meridian's continued growth.

Here's a look at what's new, what's still to come, and how the expansion adds to the experience of living in the area.

New Shops and Experiences Have Arrived

The first phase of the expansion introduced several retailers that previously didn't have standalone locations in Idaho. The new stores offer a mix of fashion, accessories, and lifestyle products, adding to the variety already available at The Village.

Among the first businesses to open are:

• Alo: Known for its yoga-inspired activewear and everyday apparel, Alo opened its first Idaho store in September.
• Tecovas: The Austin-based western wear brand brings its collection of boots, apparel, and accessories to Meridian.
• Kendra Scott: A jewelry and accessories brand offering everyday pieces, personalized designs, and gifts.
• Gorjana: Known for its modern, understated jewelry, including layering pieces and everyday accessories.

The expansion also includes Solidcore, a strength-training studio offering low-impact, high-intensity workouts, bringing another wellness option to the area. Additional retailers announced for the project include Vuori, known for its performance apparel; Tempur-Pedic, specializing in mattresses and sleep products; and 7th Avenue, a modern furniture brand.

Together, these businesses broaden the shopping and wellness options available in Meridian, with several giving Treasure Valley residents their first opportunity to visit a dedicated Idaho storefront.

More Dining Options Are Coming to The Village

Shopping isn't the only focus of the expansion. Several new restaurants and cafés are joining the lineup, offering everything from casual meals to full-service dining experiences.

Flower Child opened in October, introducing a health-conscious, fast-casual restaurant with customizable bowls, salads, wraps, and a variety of protein and dietary options. Paris Baguette, a bakery café offering pastries, breads, sandwiches, and coffee, has also joined The Village's dining options.

Looking ahead, three additional restaurant concepts have been announced:

• Postino: A wine café known for its bruschetta boards, shareable plates, and relaxed atmosphere.
• Culinary Dropout: A casual restaurant and gathering space featuring American-inspired dishes, cocktails, and a lively dining experience.
• The Capital Grille: An upscale steakhouse known for its dry-aged steaks, seafood, and extensive wine selection.

These restaurants are expected to open as later phases of the expansion are completed, with timing subject to change. For residents and visitors, the growing variety means more options for everything from a quick lunch between errands to an evening out with friends or family.

Familiar Retailers Are Making Their Way to Meridian

In addition to the new-to-Idaho businesses, the expansion will welcome several established retailers that Treasure Valley shoppers may already recognize.

Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma are expected to relocate from Boise Towne Square to The Village in early 2027, bringing their home furnishings, kitchenware, and entertaining collections to Meridian. Apple is also planning a location at The Village, adding another convenient option for shoppers in the western Treasure Valley. According to local reporting, Apple's existing Boise Towne Square location is expected to remain open.

These additions will further expand The Village's mix of retailers, bringing more home, technology, and lifestyle shopping together in one location.

The full expansion is currently anticipated to be completed in 2027, although individual store and restaurant opening dates may change. For the latest updates, visitors can check The Village at Meridian's website.

More Than Shopping: What the Expansion Means for Meridian

The Village has become more than a traditional shopping center. With its combination of restaurants, entertainment, outdoor gathering spaces, and seasonal events, it's a destination where people come together, not simply a place to shop. The expansion builds on that experience, introducing even more opportunities to dine, explore, and enjoy what's available within the community.

For nearby residents, these additions bring greater variety and convenience to everyday life. And as Meridian continues to grow, developments like this also bring important considerations around traffic, accessibility, and how new commercial spaces fit into the surrounding neighborhoods.

With additional businesses expected to open through 2027, The Village will continue to evolve alongside the community it serves. It's another example of how the Treasure Valley is changing, and one worth watching as Meridian welcomes its next chapter.
