BizBeat: Cookie monsters welcome at Capital Mall

Meanwhile, Claire's shifting locations

Capital Mall in Jefferson City will welcome a sweet shoppers' favorite when Great American Cookie opens in April.

The national cookie chain offers several varieties of cookies and brownies, as well as cookie cakes and cookie and brownie platters. Great American Cookie will be located in the food court entrance corridor near Fuji Japanese Steakhouse and Camelot Gifts.

Another Capital Mall store has shifted locations to make way for the mall's growth. Claire's, a girls' accessory store, moved from its long-time storefront in the JCPenney wing to a temporary location across from American Eagle in the Dillard's wing in the space formerly occupied by Hot Topic.

Claire's agreed to move to accommodate construction of the Ross department store set to be completed by the end of August between the JCPenney and Sears wings. Capital Mall is still working out the details of a permanent space for Claire's, said mall general manager Jamie Reed.
