Woodland Mall’s expanding line-up of retailers and restaurants has or will gain nine new arrivals this fall including the opening of Sephora and White House Black Market. And while you are shopping, a stop at the new WOW Sushi for lunch might be in order.
In addition, also now open at Woodland Mall are Jamba, Tempur-Pedic, Bath Planet and FunShop. WOW Sushi, The Zon3 and Windsor are set to open later this fall.
“We are delighted to welcome so many new arrivals to our growing portfolio of retailers and restaurants,” Cecily McCabe, Woodland Mall marketing director, said in supplied material. “We are looking forward to offering guests an expanded selection of shopping and dining options and a premium experience under our rigorous safety protocols.”
Sephora, now open in the Von Maur wing, debuted in North America more than 20 years ago, and “has been a leader in prestige omni-retail with the purpose of creating an inviting beauty shopping experience and inspiring fearlessness in its community,” according to supplied material.
Also in the Von Maur wing, White House Black Market will open next to Bath & Body Works in early October. WHBM offers “polished black and white women’s clothing with pops of color and patterns for tailored dresses, tops, pants and accessories.”
WOW Sushi opened in the Café in the Woods Food Court at Woodland Mall Sept. 1. Men’s streetwear clothing store The Zon3 will open in the JCPenney wing near H&M in early October. In the Macy’s wing, Windsor will open near Shoe Encore across from Ann Taylor in early November.
Also on the list of new retailers and restaurants that recently opened is Jamba, located in the mall’s center court next to Starbucks. Jamba serves on-the-go freshly blended fruit and vegetable smoothies, made-to-order bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and shots, boosts and bites.
Shoppers will also discover FunShop, a new video arcade, in the Macy’s wing near Spencer’s. The space features a popular combination of the latest video and redemption games. Sanitizing wipes are available for customer use on high-touch areas.
Nearly 100 retailers and restaurants have reopened since June 1. A complete list can be viewed on Woodland Mall’s website.
In order to comply with Michigan requirements, occupancy numbers remain limited as the mall operates on reduced hours, Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Some stores modify those hours further.
Woodland Mall asks guests to follow CDC recommendations, make use of the several hand sanitizer stations located throughout the mall, wear masks and practice physical distancing. Common area furniture and other elements where physical distancing cannot be enforced have been removed. While the play area remains closed indefinitely, food court seating is now available at reduced capacity.
Also, many retailers at the mall are currently hiring. Job seekers are encouraged to explore the list of openings here.
