Herman Miller is opening a store at Annapolis Town Center at 1910 Towne Centre Blvd., Suite 100, with construction underway at the former Gabby and Summer Classics space. The new location is listed as coming soon, and no opening date has been announced.

Why it matters

The move fills a vacancy left when Gabby and Summer Classics closed on April 30, 2026, and adds a modern furniture brand to the Annapolis retail mix. Annapolis Town Center had previously said Herman Miller and Design Within Reach were expected to join its lineup in 2026.

Gabby and Summer Classics operated at Annapolis Town Center for just over three years before closing on April 30, 2026, at the same suite now being converted for Herman Miller. The new store's opening date and size have not been disclosed.

The players

Herman Miller

Herman Miller is a furniture and design company known for its Eames chairs and office seating, and it is a member of MillerKnoll.

Design Within Reach

Design Within Reach is a retailer of modern furniture, lighting, and accessories that is also part of MillerKnoll.

Annapolis Town Center

The details

Construction is underway at the former Gabby and Summer Classics showroom, and the Herman Miller store is listed as coming soon. Herman Miller sells seating, desks, tables, lighting, and storage, and it is part of MillerKnoll alongside Knoll and Design Within Reach, which lists the same address as a future Annapolis location.

Timeline

  1. April 30, 2026: Gabby and Summer Classics closed its Annapolis Town Center showroom.

  2. 2026: Herman Miller and Design Within Reach were expected to join the center's retail lineup.

  3. November 3, 2026: Reporting confirmed construction underway at the Herman Miller site.

Market Landscape

The Herman Miller opening follows Annapolis Town Center's earlier addition of furniture retailer Lovesac and West Elm, continuing a push toward home-furnishing tenants at the center. It also places a MillerKnoll brand alongside Design Within Reach in the same local market.

Shoppers in Annapolis will gain a local showroom for Herman Miller seating and furnishings once the store opens. Until then, the former Gabby and Summer Classics space remains under construction with no opening date set.

The takeaway

A new furniture showroom replacing a closed retailer signals continued demand for modern home furnishings at Annapolis Town Center. Readers looking for Herman Miller pieces can watch for the opening announcement to see product availability firsthand.
