Frequently Asked Questions

The Village encourages mall tenants to work with the new mall owner to figure out timing and next steps with the mall. We are not aware of the new mall owner having a ‘closing date’ for Lincolnwood Town Center, but if we do have news to share, we will place it on this website.

The Lincolnwood Town Center mall has been a treasured place for our residents and the region; however, it is a private-property and it has been declining for several years. If the new owner chooses to close the mall, then they are allowed to do so on their own accord. Should there be any news shared with the Village about the mall closing, we will place it on this website.
