Other nearby suburban malls are also going through similar projects, including Old Orchard in Skokie, Golf Mill in Niles and Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale.
Chicago's suburban mall scene continues to grow as Hawthorn in Vernon Hills announced more than a dozen new stores and restaurants are set to open up at the popular north suburban shopping center.
The new additions come as CAVA, a popular and fast-growing Mediterranean chain, opened its second-Chicago area location near the mall.
According to a press release, the mall welcomed 14 new tenants this week, with some already open and listed as "coming soon."
Some of the new stores are freestanding and located on "Hawthorn Row," an an area right around the shopping center. Others are located inside the mall itself. According to a press release, the mall, which opened in 1973, is currently undergoing a "comprehensive redevelopment that will transform the property from a traditional shopping center to a master-planned, mixed-use development."
