The closures come after the mall welcomed two new restaurants in the food court in November, and nine seasonal businesses that opened for the 2024 holiday season.

The mall also recently welcomed a new tenant to its lineup of shops.

Brick Island Toys, a vintage toy and LEGO shop, and AK Woody Wood Creations, a wood statue and art shop, have both opened in suite 357.

Next month the mall will also have a new tenant in the previous space of Trishna Rock & Gem — TasTEA Spice and Co., a tea room and retail shop, according to Prince.
