History

The mall barely escaped destruction when the Plainfield Tornado passed within a few hundred yards of the southwest entrance. Some shoppers report seeing nothing but a huge, black wall when they looked to the southwest. In 1991, Circuit City opened outside of the mall. The chain went bankrupt in 2009. It was replaced by hhgregg in 2011. Six years later in 2017, hhgregg filed for bankruptcy as well. It was replaced by Binny's Beverage Depot in the fall of 2018.[2]

Panera Bread opened at the mall in December 2000.[3]

The Marshall Field's store was officially renamed Macy's on September 9, 2006.[4]

H&M and Pandora opened in December 2014.[5]

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Louis Joliet Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.[6]

On February 16, 2017, MC Sports announced that all 66 stores would be closing.[7] That same year, a Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel was built outside of the mall.[8]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's will close as the parent, Bon-Ton Stores, was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[9] On August 2, 2018, it was announced that the Senior Services of Will County might move into the former Bernger-Weise/Carson's space.[10]

On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The store closed sometime in 2019 which left JCPenney, Macy's, and Cinemark as the only anchor stores left.[11]
