RiverTown Crossings is a two story shopping mall in Grandville, Michigan. It is owned and operated by General Growth Properties.
It opened in the fall of 1999 with five anchors: Sears, Hudson's (then Marshall Field's, now Macy's), Kohl's, Younkers and JCPenney. Barnes & Noble was also featured as a junior anchor. Galyan's (now Dick's Sporting Goods) and Old Navy opened a few months later.
The mall has 120 stores, 9 restaurants, a food court and a 20 screen Cinemark movie theater. There is just under 1.25 million square feet of retail space. Outside are more than 6,000 parking spaces.
The mall's slogan is Take the Feeling with you., one of few major slogans that General Growth Properties uses with some of their malls.
Two bus routes operated by The Rapid (Interurban Transit Partnership) stop here: route 8 to Central Station seven days a week, route 44 to Gerald R. Ford International Airport on weekdays. GVSU route 50 stopped here during the weekends when class was in session during the fall and winter semesters from 2004 to 2006.
On November 20, 2006, the bus stop was moved from the mall entrance near Sears to across the parking lot, at a spot across from Men's Wearhouse at Potomac and Outer Mall Drive [1]. This change resulted in the addition of the nearby Meijer store to route 8, which also serves as the route's new bus terminal for layovers. Mall management requested this change due to "several violent incidents", but Grandville Police describe those incidents as rowdy behavior. Route 44 was re-routed to serve the relocated stop and Meijer is that route's terminal point, replacing the mall.
On December 18, 2006, the bus stop was moved to 30 feet from the south entrance at a covered area between the mall entrance and a parking lot covered by the Cinemark building. A new agreement allowed the bus access to this location with the stipulation that service to the mall ends when the mall is closed. The Meijer stop continues as the terminal point. The mall's issue was the presence of passengers when the mall is closed [2] [3].
