The new store will employ 52 people. It’s general managers will be Jose Cambria and Shayne Norris. Employees at the store will provide complementary design services for its customers as well as 14-day storage of materials.

A Gander Mountain, a store catering to outdoor enthusiasts, will open in the remaining portion of the 185,000 square feet of space. It is expected to open by fall.

The large building was constructed as an Incredible Universe electronics store which opened in 1995. The store mixed computers and electronics with live entertainment stage at the center of the store as well as an in-house McDonald’s restaurant. Competition from nearby Best Buy, as well as other stores in the Potomac Mills area, eventually drove Incredible Universe out of business about a year after opening its doors.

Between 2002 and 2012, the building was home to General Dynamics who which constructed amphibious war fighting vehicles inside the structure.

Upon the exit of General Dynamics, investors gathered to discuss transforming the building into an indoor recreation and entertainment destination.  With the opening of Floor & Décor and the planned opening of Gander Mountain, plans for the entertainment center have apparently fallen through.
