Westland Shopping Center Welcomes Two New National Retail Tenants

and

One of Westland's Premier Nursing Homes Expands

Westland, MI - Mayor William R. Wild is pleased to announce that the Westland Shopping Center will be welcoming two new major tenants to its lineup of nationally recognized retailers on the heels of a third recently approved by the Westland City Council, ULTA Beauty.  The two new projects, Charming Charlie and Shoe Carnival, will result in nearly $1.2 million in additional investment in the Westland Shopping Center with an investment amount of $750,000.00 by Shoe Carnival and $400,000.00 by Charming Charlie. Each will be creating new exterior entrances with new facade improvements highlighting their tenant spaces outside the mall's exterior as well as within the interior of the mall structure.  The Charming Charlie will be located just east of the Kohl's store in the former Griffin Grill location.  The current store exterior will be demolished and a 611 square foot storefront and vestibule entrance will be constructed in its place. The Shoe Carnival will be located at the former H&R Block location between Kohl's and Macy's and will occupy three current lease spaces within the mall.  

These additions of prominent national retail chains will be another shot in the arm for Westland's Shop and Dine District and exemplifies the continual collaborative efforts of the City and Westland Shopping Center in marketing our vital commercial center.  While and exact date has not been set for the grand opening of either store, the renovations are expected to begin soon with Charming Charlie and Shoe Carnival occupying their spaces as soon as the renovations are complete.

The Four Season Nursing Home, a multi-care, 180 bed nursing home located on the west side of Newburgh Road, just south of Joy Road, is planning extensive building renovations as part of their continued re-investment in their Westland facility.  The project recently approved by City Council includes a 1,122 square foot canopy addition over the front entrance to the existing building as well as a new cultured stone veneer to the overall front of the building.  Phased site improvements are included in the overall plan that will bring the investment amount for this project to nearly $1 million as well and highlights the continued growth and investment in housing and care facilities for Westland's senior population.
