Hickory Point Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Forsyth, Illinois. Opened in 1978, it features Bergner's, Kohl's, Von Maur, and Hobby Lobby as its anchor stores.[1] The mall is managed by CBL & Associates Properties.

History

The mall's original anchors included J. C. Penney, Bergner's, and Carson Pirie Scott (now Carson's), all of which relocated from downtown Decatur.[2] Kohl's was added in 1983 as a fourth anchor, and expanded in 2003.[3] Carson Pirie Scott sold its store and another at College Hills Mall (now The Shoppes at College Hills) in Normal to Von Maur in 1989.[4] MC Sports and Sears were added in 1998,[5] with the latter relocating from a store in downtown Decatur.[6] A year later, Gap Inc. announced plans to open Gap, GapKids, and Old Navy stores.[7]

In 2000, mall owners Copaken, White & Blitt renovated the interior.[8] CBL & Associates Properties bought the mall in 2005.[9]

Steve & Barry's opened in late 2007,[10] and closed less than a year later.[11] MC Sports moved its store across the hallway in late 2008.[12] Old Navy closed in 2010[13] and was re-tenanted by Cohn Furntiure later that same year. In addition, Shoe Show opened a Shoe Dept. Encore in the space vacated by Steve & Barry's.[14]

Some scenes from the 2009 film The Informant! were filmed at the mall.[15] In January 2014, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing its store by May 2014,[16] followed by Sears in November.[17] In September 2014 the mall opened up Ross Dress for Less and Ulta Beauty. In October 2014, CBL Properties announced that Hobby Lobby executed a lease for 60,000 SF in the space formerly occupied by JC Penney. [18]
