[edit] History
Birchwood Mall opened in October 1990, with Target, Sears, JCPenney, and Wisconsin-based department store chain Prange's as its anchor stores.[1] Upon opening, the mall attracted Canadian shoppers, who crossed over from Sarnia, Ontario on the Blue Water Bridge.[2]
The Prange's chain was acquired by Younkers in 1992, and all Prange's stores were so re-brandedc. Three years later, Detroit-based Hudson's announced that it would add a store to the mall; this store opened in 1997.[3] Old Navy was also added in the Younkers wing in the late 1990s, followed by Dunham's Sports.
In 2001, Hudson's changed its name to that of its Chicago-based sister nameplate Marshall Field's; on September 9, 2006, Marshall Field's was one of several nameplates to be converted to the Macy's name.
