Uncharted, a lifestyle retail store, has officially opened its doors in Annapolis, Maryland, taking over the space previously occupied by Party City at the Festival at Riva shopping center. The store is now open to the public, with plans for a grand opening celebration in the coming weeks.

Why it matters

The opening of Uncharted marks the first Maryland location for the lifestyle retailer, signaling its expansion into the state. The store's arrival also fills a vacancy left by the departure of Party City, which had occupied the space since 1996.

The details

Uncharted is now open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The store took over the 2325 H Forest Drive location that was previously home to Party City, which had been in the Festival at Riva shopping center since 1996 when it was known as the Factory Card Outlet. Party City rebranded in 2007 but ultimately withdrew from the area after filing for bankruptcy a second time in December 2024.
