Home furnishings retailer West Elm, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. family of brands (NYSE: WSM), announced today that it will open a new retail store in South Coast Plaza on November 2nd, 2012. Located at 3333 Bear Street in Costa Mesa, the new store will feature a three-sided living wall and will be the first West Elm to open with a West Elm Market shop-in-shop. Through a partnership with Etsy, the store will also feature a collection of decorative accessories and art made by artists from the Orange County area.

To celebrate the store opening, West Elm is hosting a sweepstakes* offering a chance to win a $2,000 shopping spree and access to the store’s pre-opening event on November 1st. The event will be hosted in partnership with Orange County Coastkeeper, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and preserving the region’s marine habitats and watersheds. A portion of sales from the event will be donated to the organization. Additionally, the first 300 shoppers on opening day will receive a free West Elm Costa Mesa reusable tote bag.

“We are excited for West Elm to join the rest of our Williams-Sonoma, Inc. brands at South Coast Plaza,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “Through the catalog and westelm.com the brand has built a strong customer base in Orange County. The West Elm at South Coast Plaza offers an opportunity to serve those customers, and new ones, with an amazing in-store experience.”
