LAKESIDE MALL

'Lakeside Mall' is a shopping mall located on the northeastern border of Sterling Heights, Michigan, a suburb in the Metro Detroit area. It is located south of Hall Road (M-59) between Hayes and Schoenherr. Since it was opened in the 1970s, it has been the most popular shopping destination in Macomb County, and it was Michigan's largest shopping mall until Great Lakes Crossing opened in 1998.
The mall features five anchor stores: JC Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Macy's Men's & Home Store, and Sears; in addition, it features junior anchors H&M and Steve & Barry's, as well as a food court and over 150 inline stores. The mall is managed by General Growth Properties.
