Yes, exactly. That's how the other 350+ stores with higher store numbers were planned in order to open prior to this one.

This is great, don't have to go to Ann Arbor any more. This store WAS planned years ago but negotiations with the malls previous owner fell through. This is the reason the store has a low roll out number.
