A new Pier 1 Imports store is scheduled to open its doors in Upper St. Clair on Monday, Oct. 31.

The store is located in the top level of the former Border's Bookstore. It's in the same complex as Louis Anthony Jewelers and The Pie Place.

Pier 1 Imports was previously located at 1630 Washington Road, next to the Chick-fil-A. Trader Joe's now occupies that space.

"Following the closing of our previous location, we knew we wanted to maintain our presence in the South Hills," said Jennifer Engstrand, Pier 1 Imports media specialist, in an email to Upper St. Clair Patch.

"The new store will be bigger than the old store and will feature new fixtures, lighting and flooring that will be completely different visually from any of the other stores in the area," she said. "We will still offer the same unique merchandise that Pier 1 customers love in addition to all of our seasonal merchandise."

When the store opens, the “Cheer 1 Imports” entertaining promotion will be happening, which will focus on helping customers with everything they need for entertaining, decorating and gift giving this holiday season.

The staff at the new location will be a mix of associates and management from the previous Upper St. Clair location and new associates.
