Bakery, slime shop among RiverTown’s newest tenants

RiverTown Crossings in Grandville, Michigan, is filling out its storefronts with a wave of fresh arrivals, from a hands-on slime boutique and a new bakery to a comic shop and a pair of perfume retailers. The lineup builds on momentum from a recent beverage tenant and sets the stage for a busy fall and winter at the mall.

Throw It Back Dirty Soda opened last month, bringing customizable soda creations that blend soft drinks with flavored syrups and cream.

What’s opening next

• MooZoo Slime Shop — Grand opening Oct. 17. Shoppers can browse handmade slimes or head to the in-store “slime bar” to craft their own.
• Sweet Kisses Bakery — Opening Nov. 15 with a selection of sweets and custom cakes.
• Summit Comics & Games — Arriving this fall, featuring comic books, board games, action figures, and trading cards. The retailer also operates a location in Lansing.
• Katie’s Heart & Home — Opening a second location this fall, just in time for the holidays, with seasonal decor, subscription boxes, and gift items.
• Kako Claw — Launching a family-friendly entertainment experience this fall centered around claw machines.
• Addiour Perfume and Ventrora Perfume — Both slated to debut this fall.
• Cell Repair Xpert — Expanding from a kiosk to a full storefront this fall, offering repairs for phones, tablets, and gaming consoles.
• Snack’d — Opening this winter with snacks, drinks, and candies sourced from more than 40 countries.
• JD Sports — Set for a winter opening, carrying sneakers, streetwear, and athletic apparel for men, women, and children.

Altogether, the new leases represent 33,208 square feet of space at RiverTown Crossings, signaling a substantial infusion of retail, food, and entertainment options.

The mall’s evolution has accelerated under new ownership. Tennessee-based Poag Development Group—now operating as Poag Shopping Centers—acquired RiverTown Crossings in 2024. The company has been working with commercial real estate and investment management firm JLL to reinvigorate the property’s tenant mix and overall experience.

With a steady cadence of openings through fall and winter, the growing roster aims to draw diverse crowds—from families seeking interactive fun to shoppers on the hunt for holiday gifts, global treats, and the latest in streetwear and sneakers.
