November 26, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Erica Chappell, General Manager, Briarwood Mall and Kelsey Luha, Director of Marketing & Business Development at Briarwood Mall. Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor is expanding with new stores and mixed-use developments as it adapts to changing retail trends. This holiday season, the mall is introducing a 24-hour Planet Fitness, Latte Factory coffee shop, and Shimmy V, a Korean brand for young consumers. The former Sears location is being redeveloped into Harvest Market, a gourmet grocery store, alongside a residential building and additional retail spaces, creating a “mini city” with community amenities like green spaces for events.
