The 374,527-sq.-ft. Winston Plaza features Bally’s, Party City, O’Reilly Auto Parts, Dollar Tree, Best Buy, Marshall’s and Office Max, and is about 95% leased.

With Meijer now committed, the redevelopment plans, which have been approved by the Village of Melrose Park will also be launched, including new signage and extensive exterior facade improvements.
