PUBLIC GETS SECOND CHANCE TO ATTEND "SNEAK PEEK" CHARITY BENEFIT AT THE
MALL AT PARTRIDGE CREEK
Released: 09/20/07
Live entertainment, food, cocktails, store and restaurant previews,
fashion shows await guests at October 17 pre-opening party
CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., September 20, 2007 The Mall at Partridge Creek will
give the public a second chance to participate in its "sneak peek" preview
party Oct. 17.
The charity benefit is being held the night before the 640,000-square-foot,
open-air shopping center opens to the public on Oct. 18.
"The demand for tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime event was so tremendous,
we sold out almost before we announced it," explains Seok Chung, marketing &
sponsorship director for The Mall at Partridge Creek. "We've decided to take
advantage of the opportunity to help our deserving partner charities even
more by accepting additional reservations to accommodate more attendees at
this wonderful event."
Sneak Peek at The Mall at Partridge Creek will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
throughout the entire shopping center, located on the south side of M-59
between Garfield and Romeo Plank roads in Clinton Township, Mich.
The $50 admission ticket entitles guests to free valet parking,
complimentary food and cocktails, two fashion shows, and continuous live
entertainment - from dueling pianos and bocce demonstrations to Cirikli
Stilt Birds and a "living vine" that astounds the eye as it moves and
morphs. A strolling photographer will take pictures of guests, who can
retrieve them on the mall's Web site (www.shoppartridgecreek.com).
The 2,000 guests also can shop and preview some of the stores, which will
open early for the event.
The evening will benefit five charities: Macomb Literacy Partners Turning
Point, Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, Junior League of Detroit,
Michigan and The Michigan Humane Society. The Mall at Partridge Creek is
underwriting all food, entertainment and valet parking, allowing the
charities to keep 100 percent of the money from the tickets they sell,
according to Chung.
"This will truly be a unique event," he observes. "Guests will have the rare
opportunity to experience The Mall at Partridge Creek and all the excitement
we've planned before the general public. And, better yet, five terrific
charities will earn much-needed money for their causes."
Tickets will be available through the following individual charities while
supplies last:
■ Michigan Humane Society: Tricia Brosnahan, (248) 799-7400
■ Macomb Center for the Performing Arts: Kathleen Wentzel, (586) 445-7302
■ Macomb Literacy Partners: Jessica Cheshire, (586) 286-2750
■ Junior League of Detroit: Lisa Fildes, (313) 881-0040
■ Turning Point: Michelle Hay, (586) 463-4430
Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-based Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE:TCO) has developed
and will manage The Mall at Partridge Creek, the first shopping center built
in Macomb County in more than 30 years. Robert S. Taubman, Taubman chairman,
president and CEO, will welcome guests and kick off the evening's first
fashion show.
The Mall at Partridge Creek features approximately 90 stores and restaurants
amidst lushly landscaped grounds with fountains, a children's play area and

restaurants will be one-of-a-kinds for Macomb County.
The new shopping center showcases Macomb County's first Nordstrom and
Parisian stores, plus a 58,291 square-foot MJR Theatres complex with 14
screens, 2,500 stadium-style seats, digital sound in all auditoriums and
digital projection systems on at least four screens. The two-level,
122,000-square-foot Nordstrom will open April 18, 2008. The two-level,
120,000-square-foot Parisian and the theater complex will debut with the
mall this fall. The Mall at Partridge Creek will be only the third full-line
