[edit] History

Lincoln Mall opened in 1973 [1] with anchors Carson Pirie Scott, Montgomery Ward, Wieboldt's and JCPenney. Wieboldt's closed in the 1980s. The mall underwent a renovation in 1993. In 1995, Sears opened in the abandoned Wieboldt's location. Montgomery Ward closed their store in 1999 and went bankrupt soon after. In 2000, JCPenney closed their location in Lincoln Mall. Due to the loss of two anchors mall traffic declined and many stores began to vacate Lincoln Mall.

[edit] The Promenade at Lincoln Mall

Lincoln Mall is currently undergoing a $115-million redevelopment in hopes of attracting more retailers to Lincoln Mall. This plan includes a multi-screen movie theater and a four-lane road to connect Cicero Avenue and Lincoln Highway. To make room for the new plans some parts of the mall were demolished, including the former JCPenney and Montgomery Ward stores. In 2007 two new stores opened at the site. Target, with a 126,000-square-foot store, opened in July and JCPenney returned to Lincoln Mall with a 104,000-square-foot store in October. [3]
