The Mall of America announced the addition of more than half a dozen mostly high-end retailers Monday.
They include a lifestyle store from designer Michael Kors, upscale footwear retailer Stuart Weitzman and an A/X Armani Exchange store with street-chic fashions.
The mall is also adding the Sky Deck Sports Grille and Lanes with bowling, video games, sports viewing and dining.
The new stores also include Naartjie Kids, a children's clothing chain with roots in South Africa; Bettie Page, a nostalgia boutique for retro clothing from the 1950s; See's Candies, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., with its first permanent Minnesota store; and outdoor footwear specialist Merrell Shoes.
Most of the stores are opened or are opening soon, including several on the recently renovated south side of the mall.
