Ben & Jerry’s is getting closer to returning to Reston Town Center.

The previous store, a longtime Market Street tenant, closed its doors in September with the promise to return in a few months.

The store is moving down the street to 11916 Market St. Its former location is going to be a Madewell store, which should be opening soon.

No word on when Ben & Jerry’s is scheduled to open, but it is well through the permitting and build-out process — and a shiny, modernized sign has been installed.

That probably puts the opening sometime after ice cream weather returns but before paid parking comes to RTC in August.

Reston Now will keep you updated.
