Northland Mall is a 302,680-square-foot (28,120 m2) enclosed shopping mall in Sterling, Illinois. First opened in 1973, it features 14 stores, Dunham's Sports, Planet Fitness and two former anchor stores which were JCPenney and Bergner's.

History[]

On February 27, 1973, Northland Mall officially opened to the public.[1]

Dunham's Sports would open on October 24, 2014 as a new anchor store.[2] Just eight months later, a tornado caused wall and roof damage to the store. Shoppers and employees were inside the building at the time of the storm, but no injuries were reported.[3] The store would eventually reopen a year later on August 7, 2016.[4]

In late 2016, Planet Fitness opened at the mall. It replaced the Pet Supplies Plus which closed in June 2014.[5]

On March 17, 2017, JCPenney announced the Northland Mall location's closure, along with 137 others.[6] The Bon-Ton went bankrupt the following year.[7]
