History

Chicago Ridge Mall opened in 1981. Lenhdorff Group bought the mall in 1986 and sold it to JMB Realty a year later.[5]

In July 1981, Essaness Theatres opened at the mall. This theatre later became a Cineplex Odeon, then Loews, and finally AMC. In 1993, Montgomery Ward was added as an anchor in a spot previously occupied by Madigan's.[6] The Montgomery Ward space later became Bed Bath & Beyond and Steve & Barry's, the latter of which closed in 2008. In 2010, Westfield Group confirmed that Aldi would open in the space vacated by Steve and Barry's. In August 2015, a two-story H&M was added to the mall. Red Robin opened on November 21, 2016.

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.[7]

On June 17, 2020, plans were announced for Dick's Sporting Goods to open in part the former Carson's space.[8]
