Remember, oh, six months ago or so when a mass e-mail went around saying that a ton of national retailers were going to close? Yeah, that didn't happen. Except for Steve and Barry's. They did close. Pleather just isn't in style this year.
Anywho, the mall is actually opening two new retailers: Millefiori Milano, a place to buy those smell-good wicks for your home, and Tradehome Shoes (no corporate website is readily available, but here's their Twitter feed!) a family-focused footwear store that carries pretty much every brand you can think of (yes, including Crocs). The Millefiori location is the Italian company's first U.S. store, according to mall PR.
A third newcomer, Zumiez, a shop for the extreme-sports set, is set to open in September.
The full release follows. We just like being the harbingers of good retail news.
