Major changes at Silver Lake Mall
More changes are in store at Silver Lake Mall.
To make room for a large Encore Shoes store on the west side of the central area, Just Sports moved across the hall a few weeks ago. And Lost & Found has just done the same, moving to the former Hallmark location. The mall’s major change will be the addition of a 300-employee call center in the former large Sports Authority location in the south end.
Offering “Antiques & Treasures by Furniture Hunters,” Lost & Found is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 to 6 Sundays. Owners John and JoAnne House and son Matt have had the business four years. With the Furniture Hunters side of the business, their motto is “We find it ... we fix it ... we refinish it.” Phone 779-1739, 215-6221 or 691-3250.
