## History

[edit]

Orland Square opened on March 15, 1976 with JCPenney, Marshall Field's, Sears and Carson Pirie Scott. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the mall. Construction was completed by the Inland-Robbins Construction Company.[5]

On July 21, 1994, a fire destroyed the Buy The Weigh candy store.[6] The next year, Orland Square would undergo a remodel.

On September 12, 2002, Hot Topic, which is located near JCPenney, opened to customers, six days before Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg opened.[7] In 2006, Macy's took control of the Marshall Field's location upon being purchased from Federated Department Stores and May Company.

H&M opened in the Sears wing on November 12, 2004.[8]

Half Price Books opened outside the mall on May 13, 2010.[9] Ruby Tuesday closed in 2011.[10]

Orland Square went under another renovation in 2012 that completely changed the image of the mall, with upgraded entrances, signs, floors, as well as lighting and expanded food court.[11] Dave & Buster's opened a stand-alone location in the mall parking lot near the former Toys "R" Us on September 22, 2012.[12] On December 5, 2012, Cheesecake Factory officially opened on the lower level by Macy's.[13] In January 2013, Gap was introduced at the mall by Sears. On November 4, 2016, an entertainment center called Gizmo's Fun Factory opened along with Sky Zone Trampoline Park to the left of the nearby Carson's Furniture Gallery.[14]

In January 2018, it was announced the Sears anchor store would close.[15] The building was sold to Cubework, a provider of coworking spaces.[16]

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's and its Furniture Gallery would be close, after the parent company went out of business.[17] The Carson's anchor building was reconstructed for Von Maur, which opened November 2, 2019, a month after the Woodland Mall location in Kentwood, Michigan opened.[18]

The same year Von Maur opened, Texas de Brazil would officially open on the upper level by the defunct Sears.[19]

On August 20, 2020, Duluth Trading Company opened to the left of Half Price Books.[20]

## Shooting

[edit]

On January 21, 2019, a shooting occurred in the mall which left one person dead and one person wounded. At approximately 6:45 p.m. CST, 19-year-old Jakharr Williams opened fire near the food court. 18-year-old Javon Britton was killed, while a bystander was grazed during the gunfire. Two days after the shooting, Williams was arrested by police in Matteson, Illinois.[21][22]
