New Stores Arriving at Albertville Premium Outlets

I’m a 90s kid so seeing shopping malls fading away breaks my heart. Some are doing OK like the Apache Mall in Rochester, but many are in rough shape. We recently visited Sustainable Safari at the Burnsville Center and the mall was desolate. (If you had kids, check out the safari. It’s worth the price of admission)

A lot of outlet malls across the country are struggling too. Medford’s once thriving outlet mall is practically empty and is being described as a ghost mall. It’s not all bad news though, one Minnesota outlet mall is actually growing.
