Big-name store closures — from JCPenney to Claire’s and Macy’s — are hollowing out Michigan malls, prompting a shift to entertainment-filled spaces instead of traditional retail.
As the state that was home to the first and largest regional mall in the nation, another once-popular Michigan mall has announced it's closing its doors.
Michigan's first mall Northland Center in Southfield, was once the largest in the world. After sitting abandoned for years, the site will come alive again.
