NORWALK, CT — Norwalk’s Camp store, a hybrid retail and interactive play experience for children, recently closed at the SoNo Collection mall.
A mall spokesperson confirmed the store’s closure to Patch on Friday and noted the company is leaving the state of Connecticut.
The spokesperson declined to comment further on the closure but noted they would “share plans for the [former Camp] space” in the future.

Despite the closure of this notable tenant, the SoNo Collection has also added a number of businesses to its roster of retail and dining experiences in 2024.
Last month, a new Häagen-Dazs ice cream scoop shop officially opened on the mall’s third floor, between the Starbucks coffee shop and Journeys store near Nordstrom, offering a variety of ice cream flavors the iconic brand is known for.
Additionally, iconic pizzeria Sally’s Appizza confirmed to Patch a long-awaited Norwalk restaurant location will open at the SoNo Collection later this year.
“Ideally, we look to open in lifestyle centers or in locations that are walkable to some percentage of the community,” Sally’s COO Ted Zizlsperger said in a statement sent to Patch. “The SoNo Collection Mall met these expectations and we are excited to open there later this year.”
The mall also recently gained a new Charlotte Russe store on the second floor and said goodbye to The Body Shop and Michaels Jewelers stores on the first and second floors respectively.
Greater Norwalk Chamber President Brian Griffin said last year the chamber was pleased to see announcements of more great additions to the SoNo Collection.
“They have been doing an excellent job of continuing to bring in exciting and interesting businesses and experiences into the venue,” Griffin said in an email, “and we look forward to the next.”
