[7] Sears and Phar-Mor opened for business in July 1991,[8] followed by Dillard's and the mall itself in September, and Target in October.

[13] An eight-screen Kerasotes movie theater then opened next to the mall on December 1, 1993.

[17] Sabre ISC acquired the mall in 2011 via purchase of delinquent tax certificates and renamed it Illinois Star Centre.

[19] The taxes were then purchased from the county trustee by Roc Enterprises, LLC.

[18] On May 4, 2017 the mall's ownership team declared bankruptcy[20] after previously offering the property at auction but failing to attract a buyer.

On November 16, 2018, it was reported that the Illinois Centre Mall would cease operations in the next 30 days.
