Colorado Mills To Reopen After 6 Months

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4)- The Colorado Mills mall will reopen Tuesday morning after severe-weather damage closed the mall for six months.

The mall shut down after a storm pelted the roof with baseball-sized hail in May.

Extensive construction has taken place and is still underway.

Although the mall isn't completely done with repairs, doors will reopen Tuesday at 10 a.m. for shoppers who have been waiting for months.
