Shoppers at Miller Hill Mall will soon have a new snack option. Auntie Anne’s, the national chain known for its hand-rolled pretzels and dipping sauces, is set to open in the food court in spring 2026.

The addition is part of an ongoing refresh at the mall, which has announced several other tenants in recent months. Cinnabon, Windsor and Perfumania are all scheduled to open this fall, bolstering the mix of retail and dining choices.

Mall officials say the openings highlight Miller Hill’s role as a regional shopping hub, drawing customers from across northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. The new food court arrivals are expected to add to the high-traffic environment that has kept national franchises interested in setting up shop in Duluth.

Howie: Bayfront still may be Duluth’s best idea

Bayfront remains one of the few places where the city still functions the way a healthy city is supposed to function: as a shared public space where people continue gathering together because they genuinely want to be there. Every summer, Duluth remembers that again.

Howie: While others talked revival, Gary Doty did the work

Survival, for many old industrial American cities during the late twentieth century, became the central challenge itself. Doty helped Duluth survive long enough to rediscover confidence in itself again. That is not a minor civic legacy.
