History[]

Chicago Ridge Mall opened in 1981. Lenhdorff Group bought the mall in 1986 and sold it to JMB Realty a year later.[5]

Construction of Dick's Sporting Goods

In July 1981, Essaness Theatres opened at the mall. This theatre later became a Cineplex Odeon, then Loews, and finally AMC. In 1993, Montgomery Ward was added as an anchor in a spot previously occupied by Madigan's.[6] The Montgomery Ward space later became Bed Bath & Beyond and Steve & Barry's, the latter of which closed in 2008. In 2010, Westfield Group confirmed that Aldi would open in 2011 in the space vacated by Steve and Barry's.[7] In August 2015, a two-story H&M was added to the mall. Red Robin opened on November 21, 2016.[8]

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.[9]

On June 17, 2020, plans were announced for Dick's Sporting Goods to open in the lower level of the former Carson's space.[10] The store opened on August 6, 2021.[11]

On February 12, 2021, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 32 stores nationwide. The store closed on May 2, 2021.[12]

On July 23, 2021, it was announced that the Disney Store will be closing on or before August 18, 2021. It was the last location with the original "pink and green" design. [13]
