History
Brighton Mall opened in 1970 as a small enclosed mall, with an A&P supermarket, a Grant City department store, and approximately twenty-five inline tenants.[cite news |author=Lily Evans |title=Brighton Mall becomes power center |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20040813174541/http://www.lsj.com/news/local/040717_brighton_mall_3b.html |work=Lansing State Journal |date=2004-7-17] One year later, a movie theater opened behind the mall. [cite news |title=Best Buy to move into old theater site |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DTNB&s_site=detnews&f_site=detnews&f_sitename=Detroit+News%2C+The+%28MI%29&p_multi=DTNB&p_theme=gannett&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0F753BB98DE02943&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |work=Detroit News |date=2002-09-19] In 1976, Grant City closed and was replaced with Kmart. A&P was converted to Farmer Jack in the early 1990s after A&P left Michigan. Farmer Jack and an adjacent Perry drugstore were both demolished in 1994; the former moved to a larger store.]Because the mall had not seen significant changes in development since its opening, Brighton Mall had become largely vacant by the 1990s. In 1996, the entire complex was rebuilt as a series of big box tenants including MC Sports and Jo-Ann Fabrics; Kmart remained in place during the reconstruction. The mall's movie theater complex relocated across the street in 2002; the old theaters were replaced with Best Buy and PetSmart. Marshalls replaced Farmer Jack's newer store, which closed in 2004. In 2006, Kmart was converted to Sears Grand.
