Kent Station is adding three new stores totaling more than 10,000 square feet of retail space: Toys ‘R Us Express, Banyan Tree and General Nutrition Center (GNC).

All will be open by Sept. 10.

On Sept. 4, Banyan Tree opened its Thai restaurant next to the Ram Restaurant and Brewery. With an open kitchen plan and full-service bar, Banyan Tree will prepare cuisine from all regions of Thailand along with serving Asian-inspired cocktails. The ingredients used for cooking are fresh and sourced from local and natural products whenever possible. Banyan Tree has chosen Kent Station as its flagship location. Since opening its first Thai food booth stand more than three years ago under the name Thai Smile at the Fremont Sunday Market, Banyan Tree has been recognized locally for its exotic food and presentation.

On Sept. 6, Toys ‘R Us Express opened between Kay Jewelers & Famous Footwear. The store will carry some of the most popular toys and toy brands including Lego, Zhu Zhu Pets, Barbie, Toy Story, Star Wars, Hot Wheels and more.

On Sept. 10, GNC opens next door to See’s Candies at Kent Station. GNC will offer shoppers a variety of vitamins, supplements, sports nutrition and diet products.
