The Promenade at Casa Grande is getting several new stores just before the start of the Christmas shopping season.
The mall is negotiating leases with two national retailers, Cory Boss, the executive vice president of Lamar Companies, which owns the Promenade, said in an email Thursday. One of those leases should be signed in the next 30 to 45 days. The second lease may be signed in the next three to four months with a formal announcement of the new tenant next year.
Boss declined to say which national retailers may be signing the leases.
“This property when we came here was lacking the love that it needed,” said Mark Kalkus, president and CEO of Lamar Companies, at a grand reopening ceremony at the mall on Saturday. “It needed new blood. We’re excited to come in here.”
