Planet Fitness is coming to Mondawmin Mall. The national chain of gyms said Wednesday it is opening its fifth location in Baltimore in what soon will be a vacant Marshall's at 2010 Gywnns Falls Parkway.
The announcement came less than a month after the national discount retailer confirmed it was shuttering its store at Mondawmin on Jan. 12. It was hailed as a boost for the mall and the city's northwest corridor that last year reeled after Target closed its 127,000-square-foot store there in February after nine years. The Mondawmin Planet Fitness gym is expected to open this summer.
