The Outlets at Casa Grande shopping center could soon become a destination for home improvement shoppers.
AZ Outlet Investments, which purchased the property in 2011, has plans to attract new tenants, including home improvement retailers and service providers.
“Our idea is to rebrand the mall as a home center with retail establishments that offer building materials, interior furnishings, anything for home improvement,” said Brad Holyoak, vice president and project manager for AZ Outlet Investments. “We’ll add s down restaurants and other things to increase traffic out there.”
Renamed “The Station,” the shopping center is also pegged for a facelift and architectural redesign.
With the addition of arches and gables, the mall will be transformed from Southwestern style to traditional, Holyoak said. New, lusher landscaping is to be installed and the parking lot will be resurfaced and improved, he said.
“Physically transforming the facility should make it more attractive and increase activity out there,” Holyoak said. The renovation work is to occur this summer.
While many of the new businesses are expected to be connected to home
improvement, other retailers are welcome to lease space in the mall, and existing tenants can stay if they choose.
