SHOPPING MALLS TARGET SHOPPING MALES
Taubman Centers introduces style packages for men

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Sept. 29, 2004 - When it comes to shopping, men are just as adept with credit cards as women are - a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by Taubman Centers Inc. (NYSE: TCO), which owns and/or manages 31 premier shopping centers across the United States.

That's why four Taubman regional shopping centers have just introduced innovative Man of Style packages exclusively for men who shop and live with style. A fifth shopping center will premier its Men's Holiday Shopping Package later this year.

Men who opt for any of the packages will find themselves
pampered - but in decisively manly, stylish and trendsetting ways:

The final manly touch comes in a lunch and martini-making lesson at Wave Restaurant & Bar.
Cost: $60
