Yorktown Center is a shopping mall located in the village of Lombard, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, United States.

[1] The mall was originally a four-anchor indoor mall - three-story Carson Pirie Scott and Wieboldt's anchor department stores faced each other across a central courtyard, while wings for two-story JCPenney and Montgomery Ward anchor department stores stretched northward and southward, respectively, from the center courtyard.

Other perimeter buildings included auto centers for the JCPenney and Montgomery Ward anchors, a General Cinema movie theater, and two restaurants.

When Big Idea Productions relocated to Franklin, Tennessee in July 2004, the company vacated their mall space, which was eventually converted to Steve and Barry's.

[5] The JCPenney Auto Center would be redeveloped into The Pacific Club, a nightclub managed by Chicago football icon Walter Payton's restaurant group.

However, the anchor space - vacant after the closure of the Scandinavian Design chain - was acquired by Carson Pirie Scott to serve as the new location for their furniture department.

After a short stint as Magellan's Furniture, and failure to attract another anchor store, it was demolished for a lifestyle center section known as "The Shops on Butterfield".

[6] At the same time, the Convenience Center was renamed "The Shops at Yorktown"; despite the popularity of the Carson Pirie Scott furniture gallery, which added on an expansion, it continued to exhibit a high rate of vacancies.

[7] In 2014, Yorktown Center management spent $18 million dollars renovating the food court by adding more healthy options.

Upgrades in the food court added 200 seats, entertainment screens, work stations for shoppers to plug in laptops, and a family lounge.

Horton sought to acquire a portion of the vacant strip mall (Shops of Yorktown) on the north side of the center for additional multi-family housing.
