East Towne and West Towne malls continue to evolve.

Just over a month after CBL & Associates announced that the interior mall corridors at East Towne will undergo a multimillion-dollar renovation that will include new flooring, lighting, soft seating areas, color schemes and new furniture in the food court, another addition has been announced.

Mandarin Express has opened a 624-square-foot restaurant in the food court at East Towne Mall. The quick-serve Asian concept includes appetizers like cream cheese rangoons, spring rolls and egg rolls and entrees like beef and broccoli, bourbon chicken and pepper steak.

The opening comes as construction work on Lucky’s 13 Pub, H&M and Flix Brewhouse, a multi-screen theater and brewpub, is underway. H&M, a clothing retailer, will occupy nearly 21,000 square feet between Center Court and JCPenney and is scheduled to open this fall at about the same time as the Lucky's 13 Pub, at the food court entrance.

In July, officials announced plans for a 39,000-square-foot Flix Brewhouse that will include nine movie theaters and a 134-seat restaurant. The facility, which will be built on the former Steinhafel's site, initially was scheduled to open this fall, but the opening has been pushed back to next April.
