Charlestowne Mall is a two-story shopping mall located in St. Charles, Illinois. The mall's only operational stores are Carson's and Von Maur.HistoryCharlestowne Mall was built on the far east side of St. Charles. It opened in 1991. In 1995, then-owners Wilmorite Properties planned to expand the mall with a new anchor store.Original anchor store JCPenney closed in 2000 and became Von Maur the same year.In June 2010, a California-based investment group acquired the mall with plans to revitalize it. However, as of early 2012, there were numerous vacancies in the mall. While marketing and signage have advertised the construction of an indoor ice rink and a large sushi and seafood buffet., After over a year later there have been no indications of communication between mall ownership and the city in terms of beginning construction for these projects, On January 4, 2011, Sears announced that their Charlestowne location would close before April 3, 2011 after negotiations between the new mall management company and Sears officials broke down, leaving only Carson Pirie Scott (now known as Carson's), Kohl's, and Von Maur the remaining anchor stores. Sears shut its doors for the last time on March 20, 2011.After two years of no contact with the mall's ownership, city officials stated a plan in 2012 to spend $35,000 on a study to determine the best options for the mall site.
I'm a skeptic and as such that's what prompted me to get involved in the community. My skepticism and so if I had some distrust of some city projects rather than just come out and criticize it, I felt I needed to do my homework. And doing my homework led me to get more involved in the community and run for office and all these things. And so I've been attending community meetings and workshops and anything that would impact us as residents of St. Charles. As such, I've attended all the meetings that have led to the Krause Company coming and acquiring the ownership of the Charleston Mall. The Krause Company has been instr What I also They did their own research. They didn't just rely on being passive They came in with a full team. We saw the team from California, everything from marketing to the engineers and architects. They all came and that impressed me. That was to me a sign of their confidence in the project. We've got to draw people across town and in speaking with business owners on the west side and on the east side, they have felt that sometimes a sense of neglect because there's a downtown partnership Charles doing for us? And I think what the mall is going to do is create energy again and people are going to move through town. If they're going to come to the mall and that's vibrant and energetic, they're going to explore. They're going to go downtown. They're going to just see what else St. Charles has to offer. And I think, remember, they're going to bring 75 stores worth of employees. They're going to bring workers during the construction process and all that's going to contribute to our economy in St. Charles, to our revenues. And I think that some empty stir fronts are going to benefit from them filling these 75 stores on the east side. It's not going to subtract from St. Charles. It's not going to compete with St. Charles. It's going to complete St. Charles.
