I have not been to Deerbrook in a while, thought I would stop by to see the hidden back entrance never featured here before, I also found out the Jewel-Osco has been demolished as well as some of the former mall.
Here is my FLASHBACK: post of the Deerbrook featuring photos from Labelscar.
Here is my post from December 2015 featuring the Hobby Lobby that opened in the former Best Buy.
Here are photos I took in October 2016:
The former mall entrance, next to Hobby Lobby.
Sports Authority has since closed.
Nothing really remained of the former Jewel-Osco, just a small portion stayed open near Lake Cook Road, reminded me of a stand alone Osco Pharmacy.
Some of the Jewel was still open.
The old back entrance to the mall, movie poster frames are still there. Really dig that retro sign, something straight out of the 80's for sure!
Thank you reading Trip to the Mall and continue to follow us on Facebook.
Why is Deerbrook Mall being demolished?
ReplyDeleteThe mall portion of the center is being demolished for a Sam's Club, and Jewel demolished there existing store for a new one.
