Lakeside Mall is a shopping mall located on the northeastern border of Sterling Heights, Michigan, a suburb in the Metro Detroit area. It is located south of Hall Road (M-59) between Hayes and Schoenherr. Since it was opened in the 1970s, it has been the most popular shopping destination in Macomb County, and it was Michigan's largest shopping mall until Great Lakes Crossing opened in 1998.
The mall features five anchor stores: JC Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Macy's Men's & Home Store, and Sears; in addition, it features junior anchors H&M and Steve & Barry's, as well as a food court and over 180 inline stores. The mall is managed by General Growth Properties.

[edit] History
Lakeside Mall started as a joint-venture between A. Alfred Taubman, and the Dutch investment company Rodamco. It was built and opened in 1976, just as northward suburban development was booming and the City of Detroit began busing students to achieve racial desegregation.
In the last decade, Rodamco sold the mall to the Rouse Company, which was subsequently acquired by General Growth Properties.

[edit] Timeline
- 1976: Lakeside Mall openes with four anchor stores: Hudson's (1978), Lord & Taylor (1978), Sears (1976), and JC Penney(1978), with Harmony House functioning as a "junior anchor". The mall also features a movie theater, ice rink, and water slides.
- 1981: Crowley's openes as the mall's fifth anchor.
- 1997: The mall's theaters close and are converted to f. y. e.. Also, Harmony House closes and is later converted to Steve & Barry's.
- 1997: The mall's water slides are replaced by Tilt!, a video arcade.
- 1998: Tilt! closes and is torn down for a food court called Lifestyles Cafe. This new food court features a large indoor carousel.
- 2001: Hudson's stores are re-named Marshall Field's. As a result, the Hudson's Men's & Home Store and Hudson's Sleep Shop are both re-branded to Marshall Field's as well.
- June 2, 2006: H&M opens a large store - the chain's Michigan flagship - in most of the space formerly occupied by f.y.e.; as a result, f.y.e. moves across the hallway to a much smaller store. The opening of the H&M store generated crowds that lined up to the Marshall Field's store just to get in.
- September 9, 2006: Marshall Field's stores are converted to Macy's as Federated (owner of Macy's) acquires the May Company (former owners of Marshall Field's). The Marshall Field's Men's & Home and Marshall Field's Sleep Shop stores are also re-branded as Macy's.
