Novi, Michigan – Twelve Oaks Mall will soon welcome three new retailers to replace the former Sears space, which closed in 2019. The newcomers, DICK’s House of Sport, Primark, and Round 1, are part of a significant transformation of the mall’s lower and upper levels, marking a new chapter for one of the largest shopping centers in Michigan. All three stores are scheduled to open by 2026.
Construction has already commenced on the 100,000 square feet occupied by DICK’s House of Sport on the lower level. This store aims to offer an immersive experience for sports enthusiasts, featuring a climbing wall, golf simulators, and multi-sport cages. The mall’s outdoor activity space will also be enhanced with a turf field and a running track that can be converted into an ice rink during the winter months.
On the upper level, Primark will take up 46,000 square feet. Founded in Ireland, this retailer is recognized for its wide range of affordable fashion and home goods, and this will be Primark’s second location in Michigan. Next to Primark, Round 1 will also be established in a 54,000 square foot space, providing a multifaceted entertainment venue that includes bowling, arcade games, karaoke, and dining options.
The introduction of these new retailers is seen as a positive development for Twelve Oaks Mall, expected to not only enhance the shopping and entertainment experience but also create numerous job opportunities for local residents. Mall management has expressed excitement about the upcoming changes and is optimistic about the impact these new offerings will have on the community.
The closure of Sears was part of a broader trend of retail downsizing, with the Twelve Oaks Mall location being one of many across the country that was affected. The vacancy left by Sears has paved the way for this innovative redevelopment, signaling a shift in the retail landscape within the mall.
Twelve Oaks Mall, which first opened in 1986, features more than 180 stores and is home to various dining and entertainment options, making it a central hub for shopping in the region. The mall has undergone several renovations in the past to adapt to changing consumer preferences and market conditions. The addition of DICK’s House of Sport, Primark, and Round 1 is anticipated to further modernize the shopping experience and attract a diverse group of visitors.
As the timeline for these openings approaches, community members and shoppers alike are eager to see how these developments will reshape Twelve Oaks Mall. With the transformation already underway, the shopping center is poised to become an even more prominent destination in the state of Michigan.
