Skokie's popular suburban Westfield Old Orchard Mall is getting into the holiday spirit with a few new store openings as well as a few family favorite holiday activities.
According to a press release, luxury brand Louis Vuitton will open a store front at Westfield Old Orchard beginning Nov. 10. And Bloomie's, a smaller retail version of the Bloomingdale's department store that once anchored the mall, will open Nov. 17.
The two shops join several other Old Orchard newcomers, including Capital Grille, Levi's, Molly's Cupcakes, Bar Siena and Psycho Bunny.
Plus, fan favorite Barnes & Noble, which closed at the shopping center in 2021, is making a return. A full list of the mall's stores can be found here.
Along with new stores and old favorites, the mall will feature a "Santa Trolley Experience" and other holiday events this season.
