As the beleaguered Sears chain headed into the proverbial sunset,
stores closed at an alarming pace. Just one Illinois unit remained.
Observers wondered how long the lights in this flagship anchor would be
staying on. They went dark in November 2021.

Our fourth WOODFIELD site plan shows recent mall modifications. A 12-bay Dining Pavilion opened -on the Upper Level- in mid-2018. Sears downsized -and then abandoned- their store. During Sears' downsizing, a Pac-Man-themed restaurant, now known as Enterrium, opened in Upper Level space. It was joined by Primark in late 2023. The Lower Level of Sears became a Zellano Home in early 2024.
