History

Laurel Park Place was developed by Schostak Bros & Co. of Southfield, Michigan. The mall opened in 1989,[1][3] featuring a Marriott hotel, an office tower, with Jackson, Michigan-based Jacobson's as its anchor store. This store was the largest Jacobson's in the chain.[4]

Parisian opened its first Michigan location at the mall in August 1994. The store was part of a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) expansion that included additional mall space at the northern end.[5] Jacobson's declared bankruptcy and closed the last of its stores in 2002, and their store at Laurel Park Place was replaced a year later by Von Maur.[6][7] CBL & Associates Properties acquired a 70% joint venture interest in the mall from Schostak Bros. & Co. in 2005.[3][8] Schostak has since moved its headquarters into Laurel Park Place's office complex.[9]

In 2007, Laurel Park Place was one of three Detroit-area shopping malls to install big-screen televisions throughout the mall, advertising businesses within the mall itself.[10] A food court was added next to the Marriott hotel in 2008, the food court is mostly abandoned as of 2020.

Parisian was re-branded to Carson's in January 2013.[11]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[12]

On November 15, 2019, Dunham's Sports opened a 45,000-square-foot (4,200 m²) store in the lower level of the former Carson's.[13][14]
