There are four vacant anchor stores that were once Carson Pirie Scott, Sears, Macy's, and Barnes & Noble.

The site was previously the D. Hill Nursery, which relocated to Union, Illinois to make way for the mall.

The Carson's chain opened a Honey Bear Farm store in the west wing of the mall in October 1980.

[13] A Home Depot store opened north of the mall later that year in December.

[17] The first phase calls for the demolition of the west end of the mall, including the food court and former JCPenney and Darna Furniture locations, in order to make room for a new 37,000 sq ft. Cinemark movie theater that opened on December 15, 2016.

[18] Plans also call for an entertainment and dining pavilion and re-configuring the enclosed mall into an exterior shopping center.

On October 22, 2021, Barnes & Noble closed and relocated to nearby Algonquin Commons, leaving Kohl's and Cinemark as the malls only remaining anchors.

[23] Spring Hill Mall was sold to the Kohan Retail Investment Group in 2021.

[25] On March 22, 2024, Spring Hill Mall permanently closed its doors in hopes of being redeveloped.
