Mall of America® gears up for warmer weather with the upcoming opening of the menswear brand, Chubbies
Marking the brand's first location in the Midwest
BLOOMINGTON, MN — May 1, 2024
Mall of America® is preparing to welcome Chubbies, the lifestyle apparel brand best known for their short shorts and swim trunks. The highly anticipated opening this summer will mark the brand’s debut in both Minnesota and the entire Midwest.
Created for all kinds of one-of-a-kinds, Chubbies offers a variety of men’s apparel including shorts and swim trunks, pants and polos, shirts, and fun seasonal styles. From bold and bright to relaxed and neutral, shoppers will be able to find high-quality everyday apparel in a range of colors, patterns, and sizes. The new store will also feature the brand’s kids collection, including boys and toddler swim and casual styles, providing plenty of options for family matching.
“Chubbies is an exceptional first-to-market addition to Mall of America, and we are thrilled for them to open their doors,” said Carrie Charleston, Vice President of Leasing at Mall of America. “Guests are guaranteed a fun and playful shopping experience as they elevate their wardrobe with a fresh spin on menswear trends.”
Supporting and raising awareness for mental health is a priority for Chubbies as they founded the organization Foundation 43. Named after the 43 different facial muscles, which is one of many ways we convey our emotions, the organization works to help expand access to effective mental health care. A portion of every Chubbies purchase goes to Foundation 43.
“Our customer base continues to grow across the Midwest, and this is our opportunity to meet them where they're at,” said Kent Collins, Vice President of Chubbies Owned Retail. “We aim to deliver an environment where customers can explore, interact, and love our products while having a memorable experience.”
Chubbies will be located on Level 1, South and is anticipated to open late summer of this year. For more information on new and coming soon retail, dining, and attractions at Mall of America, visit https://www.mallofamerica.com/shopping/new
