History

Madigan's operated as a junior anchor in the mall until the early 1990s, when its space was divided between Foot Locker and T.J. Maxx, both of which opened in 1994.[5] By 2005, TJ Maxx had been closed and replaced with Steve & Barry's,[6] After that chain went out of business in 2009, its space was taken over by Conway, a division of National Stores.[7]

The Sears store was originally occupied by Montgomery Ward until that chain went out of business in 2001. The opening of Sears coincided with a $5 million renovation plan.[8]

In December 2010, portions of the film Contagion were filmed at the mall.[9]

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at North Riverside Park Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[10] In 2017, Sears downsized its store to the upper level. Its lower level is now Round One Entertainment and AMITA Health.

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[11] Fallas also closed in 2018.

In 2020, rioting affected the mall-which was still closed due to the covid-19 pandemic-and surrounding shopping centers in North Riverside and neighboring Berwyn, resulting in break-ins and looting and a shooting fatality on the property.

On June 25, 2020, it was announced that Sears would also be closing in September 2020 which will leave JCPenney as the only traditional anchor left.[12]
