Minnesota’s Favorite Mall Unveils 12 New Stores This Summer

Finally, some good news involving malls.

It seems like we see news about malls struggling on the daily - any brick and mortar, really. There was just an article released about One of Minnesota's Largest Malls being considered a ghost-mall because of how many of their store fronts were sitting empty.

Fortunately, that's definitely NOT the case for Minnesota's number one mall. Dare I say, America's favorite mall.

Sure, this place has been labeled One of the Worst Tourist Traps in the US, but we still love them and they are obviously crushing it.

That's right, The Mall of America has welcomed a dozen new stores this summer alone. Some pretty sweet new spots to check out.

Here are the newest stores and where to find them at MOA:

Chubbies (Level 1, South)

According to their website, at Chubbies, they don’t just sell “men’s swim trunks.” They sell a good time disguised as men’s swim trunks. Offering several styles, including their famous super short swim trunks, with lots of fun prints.
