Randhurst Village — Local services in Wheeling Township

As an outside mall it's not great. There are a good number of empty stores and not much in the way of big name anchors. Still, some of the stores are good. They do keep trying to fill in the empty spaces with new stores. There are some good restaurants too, both sit down and the better types of fast food like Panera and Chipotle. These are mostly around the periphery, not directly attached to the main mall, along with other well known stores like Costco and Home Depot. There is a Hampton Inn attached which is unusual (in a good way) for a mall. I'm not particularly crazy about driving/navigating the perimeter/parking lot as it seems poorly thought out (or maybe over thought). There are some tricky twists and turns that make it frustrating to get from point...

I will definitely admit that there certainly can be more stores here. At least the working people will not be rude here. There is at least one department store here. I do find it quite strange that they would change this into a "village." If anyone here says it has lost its charm, they are not really in the minority here. Just as many people do agree with them as those who disagree. I would say I neither agree or disagree since this mall is better designed than Old Orchard, Golf Milwaukee plaza, and Golf Mill shopping malls. I would rather be here than at any of those malls. There is also quite a good share of restaurants here. I also heard that there is Costco though I have yet to see that for myself...

This place SUX since they rebuilt it. So many vacant stores that never had a tennant in them since the grand reopening should be a signal to all. There are almost no stores that are interesting to men. All women's clothing stores. They should have left the old mall standing and lower the rents to revive it. Tearing it down and rebuilding a "lifestyle center" obviously didn't work. Besides, who wants to travel from store to store in the cold, rain, heat, or snow?? It's like traveling backwards in time. That was the entire point of the shopping mall. To have everything under 1 roof out of the weather. This is the result that you get when you try to reinvent the wheel...............
