Great Lakes Crossing Outlets is an enclosed shopping mall, super-regional in size, located in the city of Auburn Hills, a suburb on the northern outskirts of metro Detroit, Michigan, United States. Developed and owned by Taubman Centers, Great Lakes Crossing Outlets features over 180 stores and restaurants, a food court, and a 25-screen AMC Star movie theater. Anchor stores of the mall include Burlington Coat Factory, Bass Pro Shops, The Children's Place Outlet, Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance Center, Off 5th and The Sports Authority. == History == In the 1990s, Taubman Centers presented plans for an outlet dubbed Great Lakes Crossing, similar in design to a previously proposed Auburn Mills mall, but with a design that proved to be less intrusive on adjacent wetlands. The mall, with a design scheme based on Michigan's outdoors, opened on November 12, 1998 with over 200 stores laid out in a mile-long oval racetrack layout. Several retailers opened their first Michigan locations in the mall,〔(Development Digest )〕 including Bass Pro Shops, GameWorks, Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance Center, and Rainforest Cafe, as well as the first mall-based location for discount sportswear chain Steve & Barry's.〔(FEATURE Steve & Barry's )〕〔(DetFreePress.Retail.pdf )〕 It also included a J.

Penney Outlet space since opening in June 2007. The remainder of the J.C. Penney space featured a 22,000+ square foot, 650 seat Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill until November 2015. Sportmart was acquired by Sports Authority and renamed; and Steve & Barry's closed in 2007 and was replaced by Urban Behavior which would later be replaced by an expanded Forever 21 store.
