History

Exterior of the Mall of Monroe

Frenchtown Square Mall opened in 1988 on M-125 (Monroe Street) north of Monroe, in Frenchtown Charter Township. Its original anchor stores included the first Phar-Mor discount pharmacy in Michigan,[2] as well as JCPenney, Sears, Hills Department Store and Elder-Beerman. Hills closed in 1993[3] and was replaced with Target, while the closure of Phar-Mor in 1995 made way for an Elder-Beerman home store,[4] as well as an OfficeMax which did not open out into the mall. Old Navy was eventually added as well.

OfficeMax closed in the early 2000s. JCPenney closed in 2004 and was replaced two years later by Steve & Barry's. The mall's Regal Cinemas movie theater complex was closed in August 2007, but re-opened three months later under the management of Phoenix Theatres.[5] Steve & Barry's closed in late 2008,[6] as did Old Navy.

Cafaro announced $2 million renovation plans for the mall in 2009.[7] Among the renovation plans, the former Old Navy was replaced with a clothing store called Wear District, and the mall was renamed The Mall of Monroe.[8]

Frenchtown Square Partnership v. Lemstone, Inc.

In 2003, the mall partnership sued Lemstone Books, a Christian bookstore chain, which had closed its store at the mall six months before the termination of its lease. In those six months, the chain did not pay rent. Lemstone had also claimed that another gift store in the mall had caused declining sales at the Frenchtown Square store.[9]
