Mall of America Gets M&M'S Store, Warby Parker, and More
After becoming a state vaccination site, is a slate of openings at MOA a sign of brighter days?
M&M'S Store
The Mall of America has been getting steady foot traffic again since becoming a community COVID-19 vaccination site for Minnesota. And the news of three upcoming store openings are each a reason to see signs of life as we consider what the future of the mall even is anymore after a year of lockdowns and staying at home.
First, the mall is celebrating the grand opening of an M&M'S Store this weekend. Located on level 1, east near the rotunda, the 24,000 square foot store is the sixth in the world, and includes special Minnesota themed M&MâS products and a look specific to this region. According to a press release: "The new store returns the company back to its roots as Minneapolis was the location of the Mars Familyâs first business, The Mars Candy Factory, Inc., in 1920." There will also be a virtual tour online for fans.
