In 1987, a two-story Carson Pirie Scott store opened. In 1993, Montgomery Ward was added as an anchor in the space previously occupied by Madigan's. [6] The Montgomery Ward space later became Bed Bath & Beyond and Steve & Barry's, the latter of which closed in 2008. In 2010, Westfield Group confirmed that Aldi would open in 2011 in the space vacated by Steve and Barry's. [7]
