The spot formerly occupied by Macy’s now houses three stores: Five Below, HomeSense and Sierra.

Michael’s Arts and Crafts will also be opening in 2020. Both stores join a roster of restaurants that includes Harvest Seasonal Grill and YardHouse, Regal Cinema, popular retail brands including H&M, Express, Foot Locker, Hollister and Victoria’s Secret, and the award-winning Rizzieri Salon and Spa.
