Last Store Left at Spring Hall Mall Will Soon Close Its Doors
The only remaining store open at what was once a popular suburban mall will soon close its doors, marking the end of an era for many shoppers.
Kohl’s announced earlier this month that it will soon close more than two dozen stores nationwide, including two in Chicago’s suburbs.
The Spring Hill Mall Closure
The store, located at 3000 Spring Hill Ring Road, is expected to close by April, the company announced.
Fencing went up around the mall and its parking lots in late spring, though access to Kohl’s and Cinemark remained. Demolition began over the summer.
While the Cinemark movie theater was part of the acquisition, the Kohl’s location was not. Now, with its closure, the final store at the mall will close.
