History
edit_1.jpg)
On May 21, 2002, Meijer opened on the shopping center's property, five years prior to its grand opening.[2]
The Promenade Bolingbrook officially opened on April 26, 2007, with Macy's, Bass Pro Shops, Barnes & Noble, and Circuit City as initial anchors.[3] Originally, Macy's was planned to be a Marshall Field's prior to Macy's rebranding all of their department stores under the Macy's banner.[4]
In the fall of 2009, Gold Class Cinema would open to the public. It was renamed to iPic Theaters in 2011. On October 15, 2010, Binny's Beverage Depot opened in the former spot of Circuit City which went out of business in 2009.[5]
Expansion
editForest City is developing twenty-one acres adjacent to The Promenade Bolingbrook into a mixed-use residential/office development. The development will include at least 160 apartments for low-income residents aged 55 or older. The office space, which is planned to include at least three buildings and will take up 2/3 of the site, is being developed build-to-suit. While construction on the first 80 units of the residential portion is scheduled for late 2009, the office development may take several years to begin, once market conditions rebound.[6]
