Woodfield Mall adds stores, updates interior

Schaumburg, Ill. —Woodfield Mall, a Simon-owned and operated center with nearly 300 retail, dining and entertainment options, is adding new stores and updating its interior.

New retailers added in 2015 include Flight 23 at Footaction, Fly Zone at Kids Foot Locker, rue21 and the first-in-state location for SIX:02.

The center also announced the future addition of ivivva athletica, coming this summer, as well as Zara and Timberland, both scheduled to open this fall.

The ongoing project, which includes a contemporary and streamlined facelift of the Grand Court and the surrounding department store wings, is underway for a fall 2015 completion. New elevated plush seating areas and cosmetic finishes such as new carpeting and ceramic tile have been added. Heavy brick planters have been removed from the Grand Court and several areas on the upper level have been filled-in to create more walkable shopping space.

Once the transformation is complete, it will become easier to navigate the various elevations of the mall with the addition of a new large capacity elevator and escalator, as well as the replacement of two existing elevators and improved interior and exterior directional signage.

“Momentum continues to build as we work toward completion of our exciting style evolution,” said David Gott, general manager at Woodfield Mall. “We’re committed to providing our fashion-forward shoppers with the best possible shopping experience and are confident that these significant updates and new stores will further position Woodfield Mall as the leading retail destination for local shoppers and visitors to the Chicagoland area.”
