Sandburg Mall

The interior mall was closed September 28, 2018, leaving just three businesses as of 2019—a car repair shop, a building supply outlet store, and a moving van rental operation.

The $15 million development was built beginning in February 1974 and continuing into 1975 on 97 acres near the intersection of Henderson Street and U.S. Route 34 in northwest Galesburg.

Original retailers included Osco Drugs, Bresler's Ice Cream, Team Electronics, Garcia's Pizza-in-a-Pan, GNC, Karmelkorn, and Musicland.

The mall was operated next by Ken Tucker and Associates but the Galesburg area suffered through economic downturn including the closing of its Maytag appliance factory.

The Galesburg Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a proposal to slice the mall for expanded uses in April 2019.

[15] That plan was replaced by creating a new home of the Lane A. Evans Veteran Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic that opened in November of 2024.

[16] On August 19, 2024, the Mall less three anchors was put up for auction with a minimum bid of $200,000 amid unpaid taxes and fines due to lack of upkeep.
