Hawthorn Mall, formerly Westfield Hawthorn, is a shopping mall in Vernon Hills, Illinois. It was developed by Urban Investment and Development Co, and anchor stores Sears and Marshall Field & Company (now Macy's) as part of New Century Town, a community with 5,000 condominiums and townhomes planned at the time. Construction of the mall began in May, 1972 [2] and was completed at a cost of $45 million. By September 10, 1973, the building was complete and the first stores Marshall Field & Company and fifteen specialty shops had their grand opening.[3] Hawthorn was originally constructed without a food court.[4] Westfield Group acquired it in 2002.[5] Westfield Group sold 80% interest in mall as of December 2015.[6] Anchor stores include JCPenney, Macy's, AMC Theatres, Barnes & Noble, and Dave & Busters. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's and Carson’s Furniture Gallery would both be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton is going out of business. The store closed in August 2018.[7] On May 31, 2018, Sears announced that it would also close it's Hawthorn Mall location along with 71 other stores across the country. The store closed September 2018, leaving JCPenney, Macy's, AMC Theatres, Dave & Busters and Barnes & Noble as the only remaining anchors.[8][9] Barnes & Noble announced it would be closing its Hawthorn Mall location in favor of the new development, Mellody Farms.
