Birchwood Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Fort Gratiot Township, outside the city of Port Huron, Michigan, United States, Birchwood Mall features more than 100 stores, a ten-screen movie theater, and a food court. JCPenney, Macy's, Sears, Younkers, and Target are the mall's anchor stores. The mall is located on Pine Grove Avenue (M-25), north of Interstates 69 and 94.
Birchwood Mall opened in October 1990, with Target, Sears, JCPenney, and Wisconsin-based department store chain Prange's as its anchor stores.[1] Upon opening, the mall attracted Canadian shoppers, who crossed over from Sarnia, Ontario on the Blue Water Bridge.[2]
The Prange's chain was acquired by Younkers in 1992, and all Prange's stores were re-branded. Three years later, Detroit-based Hudson's announced that it would add a store to the mall, and this store opened in 1997.[3] Old Navy was also added in the Younkers wing in the late 1990s, followed by Dunham's Sports.
In 2001, Hudson's changed its name to that of its Chicago-based sister nameplate Marshall Field's. On September 9, 2006, Marshall Field's was one of several nameplates to be converted to the Macy's name. Old Navy closed in late 2007.
The mall also contains an antique carousel in its food court.
