Bloomingdale Court

The DuPage County suburban strip center format in Bloomingdale, Illinois, at Bloomingdale Road and Army Trail Road twenty-five miles west of Chicago, gives Bloomingdale Court a commercial identity whose tenant mix is more accurately read as a lifestyle power center serving the affluent DuPage County household’s beauty, books, specialty food, and fitness purchasing occasion than as a general merchandise strip center. Ulta Beauty, with Charlotte Tilbury’s prestige makeup range operating within the store as the highest-tier beauty co-tenancy that Chicago-area suburban Ulta Beauty locations sustain, gives the property a prestige and full-line beauty identity. Benefit Cosmetics BrowBar anchors the prestige brow services category. Daiso, the Hiroshima-founded Japanese 100-yen lifestyle specialty retailer whose DuPage County location reflects the western Chicago suburbs’ significant Japanese expat and Japanese-American professional population, gives the property a culturally specific lifestyle goods identity. Binny’s Beverage Depot, the Illinois-founded premium wine and spirits megastore, gives the property a premium beverage retail identity whose product depth and independent buyer selection the national wine retailers do not match in the Chicago suburban market.

Oberweis Ice Cream and Dairy Store, the North Aurora, Illinois-founded premium dairy and ice cream brand, gives the property a locally-rooted artisan dairy food identity. Ross Dress for Less anchors the off-price fashion and general merchandise floor. Half Price Books gives the property a used books and secondhand entertainment identity. Michaels serves the crafts, arts, and home decor category. The Vitamin Shoppe serves the health and supplements category. Fruitful Yield, the Illinois-founded natural health food chain, serves the natural food and wellness retail category. Panera Bread, Jersey Mike’s, Noodles and Company, and Nothing Bundt Cakes serve the fast-casual and specialty food dining floor. FedEx Office serves the business services and shipping category.

The property’s commercial role in DuPage County is the Bloomingdale Road western Chicago suburbs lifestyle strip center: a Ulta Beauty-Binny’s prestige beauty and premium beverage anchor whose Daiso Japanese lifestyle identity, Oberweis artisan dairy heritage, and Half Price Books community culture give the Bloomingdale and DuPage County household a specialty lifestyle retail destination whose tenant diversity the standard power center format does not concentrate at equivalent category depth.
