Westfield Old Orchard

Old Orchard in Skokie, Illinois, sits on Old Orchard Road in the north suburban Chicago corridor between Evanston and Wilmette. Nordstrom and Macy’s anchor the department store floor; Bloomingdale’s closed its full-line store here in October 2022 and was replaced in November that year by Bloomie’s, the chain’s smaller specialty-format concept, in a different part of the mall. Puttshack, the tech-driven indoor mini-golf and entertainment concept, and CMX Cinemas, a dine-in cinema operator, anchor the property’s evening and group-visit trade. Rivian runs an electric vehicle showroom. Tricoci Salon and Spa, founded in Illinois, and CorePower Yoga cover salon and fitness. Blue Bottle Coffee, Läderach and Madison Reed round out the specialty café, chocolate and hair-colour tenants, with POP MART carrying the designer-toy and collectible-culture floor.

Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Arhaus, Sur La Table and LoveSac form the home goods and furniture cluster. Tory Burch anchors the accessible luxury tier. Anthropologie, Aritzia, Free People, Marine Layer and Psycho Bunny cover contemporary fashion, while L.L. Bean, Vineyard Vines, TravisMathew and Brooks Brothers give the property an Americana and tailored-fashion register that a typical suburban mall doesn’t carry at this depth. Zara and J. Crew serve accessible-to-aspirational fashion, and Banana Republic, Madewell, Athleta, J. Jill and Intimissimi round out the women’s and lifestyle floor.

Old Orchard’s three anchors (Nordstrom, Macy’s and the smaller-format Bloomie’s) alongside Puttshack, a home goods cluster built around Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn and Arhaus, and the North Shore’s above-average household income together explain why this property functions as the default lifestyle and entertainment destination for Skokie, Wilmette and the broader North Shore suburban corridor, rather than a conventional department-store-anchored regional mall.
