Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet!


The early 2000s redo failed to resuscitate RANDHURST MALL, which had been struggling for years to keep up with rival shopping centers. A demalling redevelopment was proposed. This would replace the "obsolete" enclosed mall with the RANDHURST VILLAGE lifestyle center depicted above.

RANDHURST MALL was given a wrecking ball renovation. All structures, except those indicated in black, were demolished between late 2008 and early 2009. These were joined by newly-constructed components (medium gray), which comprised the new RANDHURST VILLAGE. The first phase of openings took place in 2010.


The Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-Mt. Prospect opened, at RANDHURST VILLAGE, in 2011. The 4-story hotel featured 120 guest rooms.
