Shopping and attractions
Lakewood Center continues to grow around its Macy's department store anchor. Varied shopping experiences include Costco, Burlington, Target and more. The Sephora Cosmetics Center inside the JCPenney adds to the mall’s resume of both a fashion and value center. It includes a new Papaya store, and a Forever 21 store that’s double the size of a typical Forever 21.
Costco’s 160,000-square-foot store, Home Depot, and Best Buy keep the Clark Avenue side of the mall busy.
Lakewood's “restaurant row" includes George’s Greek Café, Mimi's Café, Outback Steakhouse, Chick-fil-A, and more to come.
