After closing in 2022, Macarons by Maddie Lu returns to Mall of America
Dirty sodas are coming to the Mall of America as Macarons by Maddie Lu reopens in the Bloomington shopping center.
The macaron shop previously sold sweets at MoA up until December 2022, when it closed due to lease terms, crime, and staffing issues, it said at that time. It reentered the mall on May 16, setting up shop on Level 3 West next to Nordstrom Rack.
This time, the sweets shop has added a twist, becoming the first storefront in the Mall of America to jump on the dirty soda trend. It's also adding fresh cannoli and gourmet jumbo cake pops to the menu at its new outpost.
"An opportunity was sprung onto us and we couldn't say no," the shop wrote on social media. "New location, new products, and the same great tasting French Macarons that so many grew to love."
While some locations have closed, owner Maddie Carlos, who has appeared on Food Network and Hulu baking competitions, still operates Something Sweet by Maddie Lu stores in Coon Rapids and Duluth.
