The final store at a now-shuttered suburban mall will soon close its doors

Spring Hill Mall shuttered last spring, with all stores inside closing -- except for a Cinemark movie theater and the Kohl's store

It’s the end of a shopping mall era in West Dundee, as Spring Hill Mall, built in 1980 on 100 acres of land, will permanently close March 22.

The only remaining store open at what was once a popular suburban mall will soon close its doors, marking the end of an era for many shoppers.

Kohl's announced earlier this month that it will soon close more than two dozen stores nationwide, including two in Chicago's suburbs.

One of those locations includes the only remaining store at what was known as Spring Hall Mall in West Dundee and Carpentersville.

The store, located at 3000 Spring Hill Ring Road, is expected to close by April, the company announced.

Another store in Plainfield is also set to shutter.

The Illinois closures mark two of the company's 27 planned for this spring.

Spring Hill Mall shuttered last spring, with all stores inside closing -- except for a Cinemark movie theater and the Kohl's store.

Fencing went up around the mall and its parking lots in late spring, though access to Kohl's and Cinemark remained. Demolition began over the summer.

While the Cinemark movie theater was part of the acquisition, the Kohl's location was not.

Now, with its closure, the final store at the mall will close.

The company cited the closing stores as "underperforming."

"We always take these decisions very seriously," Tom Kingsbury, Kohl’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. "As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams."

The company said employees have been informed and associates were "offered a competitive severance package or the ability to apply to other open roles at Kohl's."

"Kohl's thanks our associates for their work and is working to support our associates during this transition," the company said in its release.
