A Ross department store is set to open April 2011 in Lake Forest Park's Towne Centre in the space formerly occupied by Gottschalks in the corner of the upper building. The 30,000 square foot space has been vacant since Gottschalks closed several years ago.

"The new Ross store will be filled with a little bit of everything including brand name apparel, accessories and footwear for the entire family, all at 20-60 percent off department store prices. Similar savings can also be found on a wide variety of home accent pieces including towels, bedding, candles, picture frames and more."

Madison Marquette, the company which owns and manages the mall, said that

"The addition of Ross is part of a bigger picture renovation currently taking place at the center which also includes improvements to the common areas to create a more inviting community environment, new public restrooms, fresh landscaping and more."

Planet Fitness, an innovative, no-frills health club is set to open in early December and the current tenant, A Better Day Salon, is relocating next to Rite Aid and expanding to become a full service Aveda salon and spa.

"Shoppers looking to relax will soon enjoy a plethora of indoor and outdoor seating options for eating and socializing, new access to upper and lower levels and more new stores."
