The strong mix of national and local retailers in Lakeview Square Mall has attracted a new national retailer to the shopping center.
Villa, known for its sneakers, has moved into a 4,280-square-foot space between Maurice’s and Finish Line. National brands such as Nike, Jordan, Beats by Dre and Puma will be found there.
The store also sells urban and athletic apparel and accessories for men and women.
Villa, a lifestyle fashion retailer, opened its first Battle Creek store Feb. 21 at Lakeview Square Mall in Battle Creek. Sierra Jones is the store manager.
The store features an entire wall of illuminated footwear, flat screen TV’s and Apple computers for shopper use.
Villa calls its stores lifestyle hubs, places for shoppers to share information on fashion, sports, and community empowerment.
"Villa appeals to a younger demographic who seek fashion statements from their sneaks to their caps," says Mark Dycus, mall manager. "We welcome this newest addition to the broad array of merchandise offerings at Lakeview Square Mall."
Villa has 79 stores in six states, including eight in Michigan. The company is located in Philadelphia.
"Lakeview Square Mall is an important shopping destination in Battle Creek, offering a strong mix of national and local retailers, restaurants and entertainment," says Jason Lutz, Villa chief executive officer.
