Ross Park Adding Three Stores

Three new stores will open this summer at the Ross Park Mall, mall officials announced Thursday. 

They include: 

• Vera Bradley, which caters to women and offers designer handbags, luggage, stationery and accessories. Vera Bradley, based in Fort Wayne, IN, has 52 retail stores in the United States and eight outlet stores.

• Madewell, a women's casual clothing store that J. Crew Group Inc. launched. Madewell's offerings will focus on key fashion items such as jeans, chinos, T-shirts and fleece tops.

• lululemon athletica, a technical yoga and athletic women's and men's apparel store that got its start in 1998 in Vancouver, British Columbia.  

Besides the new stores, Ann Taylor and Spencer Gifts will get renovations this year.

“It’s only the beginning of the year, and look at the additions that have been announced,” said Lisa Earl, Ross Park Mall manager. “Just imagine what the rest of 2012 has in store for Ross Park Mall shoppers.”
