St. Charles Mall was a shopping mall located in St. Charles, IL. The mall opened in 1980 with over 48 stores (including 2 anchors stores). The mall closed in 1995. The anchors stores were Kmart and Joseph Spiess Company. [1]
The mall started construction in the late 1970s and finished construction in 1980; the mall opened the same year. The interior had foliage, seating, and colorful decor throughout the mall. The mall opened with almost 48 stores. Joseph Spiess Company was the first anchor to open before the mall opened in 1979. Kmart opened the following year. The 3-screen Essaness Theatre opened in December 1980 and would later be sold to Cineplex Odeon in 1986. [2] The more notable stores were RadioShack, DEB, General Nutrition Center, Kinney Shoes, Camelot Music, Payless Shoe Source, and B. Dalton Booksellers. [3]
The mall continued to thrive until 1991 when Charlestowne Mall opened nearby attracting shoppers away from the St. Charles Mall. [1] [4] Charlestowne Mall offered something to customers that St. Charles Mall didn't have and that is 2 floors of shopping area and over 100 stores. On the final day of the mall staying open only 1 tenant remained and 2 anchor stores. Joseph Spiess Company closed in 1995 due to bankruptcy of the company before the mall closed. [5] [6] Kmart closed the same year due to an unknown reason. The St. Charles Mall closed in 1995 due to vacancy. The Cineplex Odeon theater was the last part of the mall to close in 2002. [2]
In early 2002, the City of St. Charles decided to demolish all the mall buildings including some outparcels for redevelopment opportunities. [7] The demolition took about a month and a half to complete. Jewel Osco was the only outparcel to be spared from demolition.
The former St. Charles Mall site had a fair share of redevelopment plans over the years. The first redevelopment plan for the St. Charles Mall was in 2002 when the City of St. Charles approved plans for an auto mall. [7] Those plans never made it into full consideration and was later dissolved. Fast forward to 2017 when the City of St. Charles approved plans for a new residential development called "Prairie Centre." [8] Construction started on the site in 2018. [9] Over 8 residential buildings with 670 units were built in the span of a couple years. The site is still under development to add other buildings. [8]

Regal Cinemas added a movie theater in 1999 which was sold to Classic Cinemas two years later, while JCPenney closed in 2000 and was converted in 2001 to Von Maur. The mall began experiencing a decline in tenancy in the 21st century due to its size, its location, and the opening of Geneva Commons in Geneva, Illinois in 2002. Although Wilmorite sold most of its shopping malls to Macerich in 2005, Charlestowne Mall was not included in the sale; it then changed ownership multiple times, with many of the following owners announcing plans to renovate it. None of these plans were executed, and many stores closed over time, including Sears in 2011 and Kohl's in 2016. The mall was entirely closed in 2017 except for the movie theater, Von Maur, and Carson's, which itself closed a year later. The vacant mall is owned by Urban Street Group.

Crestwood Court was a shopping mall in Crestwood, Missouri. Opened in 1957, it was the first major mall in the St. Louis area, and one of the first to have more than one department store. The mall previously included Macy's, Dillard's and Sears as anchor stores, all three of which were vacant for at least 5 years before demolition began in May, 2016, resulting in a "dead mall". Demolition was finished in October 2017. A Dierbergs opened at the site of the demolished mall in March of 2023. Decline was first noticeable in the early 2000s, but took off seriously in 2006, when many stores started to close their doors. The announcement the Dillard's would close in August 2007 was critical, because it was the most popular store. Two years later, Macy's closed, which was considered the ultimate dagger. It was by then assumed that Crestwood Mall was not going to be around much longer, and that became official in September 2013, when the exterior Lens Crafters closed their doors.
