The Shops at Grand River sign Gymboree, Gap

Though it's not opening for another year, there's an excited buzz around Birmingham while the entire area anticipates The Shops at Grand River- a $127 million dollar outlet mall, rivaling the ones seen at popular tourist destinations. The 6,500 acre development is planned to start with 330,000 square feet of retail and dining space in the fall of 2010 and expand shortly thereafter to 500,000 square feet.

The property announced an impressive line up this week, including Gymboree, Gap, Carters, Osh Kosh, Brooks Brothers, Jones New York, Banana Republic and Tommy Hilfiger. It is rumored that 27 others have signed on and 30 other retailers are in negotiations.

This mall is definitely one to watch! Happy shopping to all our friends in B-ham!
