'Children's experiential concept' headed to North Hills next year

According to renderings of the space, the destination will include indoor play and a shop. The mission, according to a press release, "is to offer a supportive and inviting shopping space along with an engaging play environment that sparks curiosity and wonder among young ones and their caregivers."

In addition to the shop and playspace, Alara + Zane also will offer services and activities such as sleep consultation for expecting moms, art classes, baby movement, parent education, annual membership packages, personal shopping and more, according to the release.

Alara + Zane is locally owned and operated by husband-wife team, Sanaa Alyemeni and Gary Moore, according to the release.

“We are thrilled to offer the Raleigh area a new experience that came out of the idea that families need another place that feels like home,” said Alyemeni in the release. “A place to find quality trend-forward clothing for little ones, newborn through 6 years, a place to play, a place to learn, and most of all – a place to find community.”

The business will open in the Park District at North Hills on the ground floor level of Park Central Apartments next to Vita Vite.

“We are thrilled to have Alara + Zane open in North Hills,” said John Kane, CEO of Kane Realty Corporation, in the release. “Alara + Zane is a unique concept – something unlike anything we’ve seen before and we are so excited to welcome them to the North Hills community.”
