The Tannery shoe store plans to open its fourth and biggest shop this fall at 711 Boylston St., the former site of home furnishings merchant Restoration Hardware, which closed last week.
Brothers Tarek and Talal Hassan, who own the Tannery and the Boylston Street building, decided to take over the two-story, 16,000 square foot space to showcase its largest collection of shoes, clothing, and accessories. The Tannery, which features top brands from Dansko to Merrell to Ugg (right), will keep open its nearby shop at 402 Boylston St. "We love Boston," Tarek Hassan said.
The Hassan family opened the first Tannery in Harvard Square in 1973.
