We've been hearing about major retailers closing their doors, but in the Grand Rapids area, some are are opening new locations. That’s the case at Woodland Mall, where a major renovation is underway.

The anchor store, Von Maur, is being built in the old Sears space. "It's an upscale department store like Nordstrom’s. It caters to the traditional customer service model. A lot of people miss that department store feel,” said Marketing Director Cecily McCabe.

Woodland Mall's parent company Preit, said Woodland is the dominant shopping center in Western Michigan and well-positioned to capture the high-income communities in the region. "We have great new employers coming here and the economy is doing well. We also have that advantage that we are inside, we’ve got free parking and we are handicap accessible.”

Also, recently announced are Black Rock Bar and Grill, Urban Outfitters and outdoor retailer REI. Clothing retailer Altar'd State will open in October, while other stores like Kay Jewelers and Victoria's Secret are undergoing renovations of their own. McCabe says more store announcements are on the way.

Von Maur and the other new stores will open in fall of 2019.
