Global Franchise To Open New Location In Duluth, Minnesota

It's been a busy year for the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth, Minnesota, which has been good news for consumers ahead of the 2025 holiday shopping season.

In May 2025, the mall announced that two new additions would be opening soon: the return of Cinnabon, located in Center Court to the left of Claire’s, and Mythic Mercantile, a pop-up shop situated across from Helzberg Diamonds.

Then, in July, mall management announced two more additions. Perfumania would open in Center Court, to the right of Collector’s Connection and across from the Cinnabon, and Windsor, a fashion destination for women’s apparel, accessories, and special occasion wear, would open across from Five Below near JCPenney Court.

Now, as we look ahead to 2026, it appears that Northern Minnesota shoppers can look forward to a global franchise opening a new location inside the Miller Hill Mall.
