BRIARWOOD MALL TO WELCOME ZUMIEZ
Cutting edge retailer for the skate and snow lifestyle coming to Ann Arbor this summer
ANN ARBOR, May 1, 2015 — Ann Arbor skate and snow enthusiasts will have a new
retail option when Zumiez opens at Briarwood Mall on July 1 in the Von Maur wing of
the mall.
Zumiez is known for cutting edge apparel, footwear, equipment, outerwear, and
accessories for young men and women designed for and inspired by skateboarding,
snowboarding, surfing, motocross, and BMX. The retailer offers some of the most
popular brands among active youth, including Toms, Neff, and Element.
“As home to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor has many young people who enjoy the skating and snowboarding lifestyle,” said Denise Murray, director of marketing and business development at Briarwood Mall. “Zumiez will be a great addition for them, and anyone looking for a fresh, casual look.”
Zumiez began in the Seattle area in 1978 and has since grown to hundreds of stores across the United States and Canada.
The addition of Zumiez is not the only exciting change happening at Briarwood. Several other retailers are opening, or reinvesting in the mall by renovating their spaces. Four Season Spa has reopened its newly renovated location in the south Sears corridor, and Victoria’s Secret will complete renovations to its location in the JCPenney wing at the end of May. Champs Sports is now undergoing a renovation of its location in the Von Maur wing next to GAP, and is temporarily located in the former Radio Shack next to Sears. Another new retailer, Sock World, is set to open in early June in the former Stride Rite location.
