Perspective
Construction of the mall began in May 1972[4] and was completed at a cost of $45 million. On September 10, 1973, the first stores had their grand opening – Marshall Field's, Sears, and fifteen specialty shops.[5] The Lord & Taylor store would open on August 11, 1975.[6] Hawthorn was originally constructed without a food court. In 1990, Lord & Taylor sold its store to Carson Pirie Scott. In 1997, more stores began to come into the mall, including Barnes & Noble and JCPenney, which was constructed on the north end of the mall to replace the shuttered location at the failing Lakehurst Mall in Waukegan.[7] In 1999, Holiday Inn Express opened outside the mall.
The mall was acquired by Westfield Group in 2002.[8] Dave & Buster's opened on March 26, 2014.[9] Maggiano's Little Italy opened on July 21, 2014.[10] AMC Theatres opened in the spring of 2015.[11] Westfield Group sold 80% interest in mall as of December 2015.[12] Anchor stores include JCPenney, Macy's, AMC Theatres, and Dave & Buster's.[13] On April 18, 2018, it was announced Carson's and Carson's Furniture Gallery would close, after their parent company went out of business.[14] The store closed in August 2018. On May 31, 2018, it was announced that the Sears anchor store would close.[15][16][17][18] In January 2021, the Sears and Carson's anchor stores were demolished for construction of new "main street" development with apartments and restaurants.[19]
