Cosmetics Store Origins to Close Its Reston Town Center Location

Origins will close the doors of its cosmetics store in Reston Town Center (11932 Market St.) later this week.

An employee at the shop Monday morning told Reston Now the store’s last day would be Wednesday. However, she said, no one at the store would give any further information about the decision. Signage in place at the store indicates that it is going out of business and that “everything must go.”

In a recent interview with Reston Connection, manager Mary Tisi said the store has been seeing a decline in business and paid parking was the “nail in the coffin.”

Paid parking began at Reston Town Center in early January and public response has been very critical.

A Reston Now reader who sent an anonymous email about the announcement said it is upsetting news.

“[This is] very sad, as I have been a customer at this Origins location for 15 years,” the reader said.
