Fairlane Town Center is a large shopping mall in the Metro Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan. Its anchor stores are Macy's, JCPenney, and Sears. The mall includes an AMC Theatres multiplex, as well as H&M, Steve & Barry's, DSW Shoe Warehouse and Bally Total Fitness among other major stores. The mall features a large food court and several other eateries. In 2007, the mall completed a major three year renovation project.

Developed by A. Alfred Taubman, Fairlane Town Center opened on March 1, 1976. The mall's original anchor stores included Hudson's, JCPenney, and Sears; additional features included an ice skating rink, a movie theater, as well as an elevated monorail car that shuttled shoppers between the mall and the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel. Lord & Taylor was also added in 1978. Saks Fifth Avenue opened at the mall in 1980. A United Artists theater was added in the early 1980s. It was closed and demolished in the late 1990s. A Star Theatre multiplex was added in 1999. Also in 1999 a Lifestyle Cafe (food court) was added. In 2006 AMC merged with Star and it became AMC Star. The mall's ice rink was demolished upon Lord & Taylor's arrival. Saks Fifth Avenue opened Off 5th Outlet in the late 1990s.

Hudson's adopted the Marshall Field's name in 2001 shortly before the chain was acquired by May Company and again in 2005 by Federated Department Stores; in 2006, the store was converted to Macy's along with all other Marshall Field's stores in Michigan. Lord & Taylor closed in 2006 and is currently vacant. As a result of this closure, the mall erected a wall in the middle of this wing.
