NEW BUSINESS: NEW MALL STORES

Brauns Fashions Corp. will open a new Christopher & Banks Store in West Park Mall in June.

Brauns, a specialty retailer of women's apparel, dresses and accessories, also operates Brauns Fashion Stores, eight of them in Missouri.

The company, headquartered in Minneapolis, was founded more than 22 years ago and operates more than 200 stores, primarily in the upper Midwest.

The new store here will offer coordinated assortments that may be worn for both work and leisure.
