Southfield Mall is a mall in Deerfield, Illinois. It currently has 4 anchors, which are Macy's, JCPenney, Kohl's, and Bob's Discount Furniture

History

The mall opened in 1967 with Sears, Marshall Field's, and JCPenney, and the mall would quickly grow in 1968 when Bergner's and Montgomery Ward built and opened their stores. In 1971, Younkers opened a small one-floor store in the mall, and in 1973, Lord & Taylor opened its store in the mall. In 1985, Montgomery Ward closed its store, and in 1988, Kohl's would take the former Montgomery Ward space. In 1989, the Bergner's would get rebranded to Carson's, but in 1994, Younkers closed. In 1995, Linens 'n Things replaced the Younkers space. In 2004, Linens 'n Things relocate their store to the new Southfield Center which opened in 1998, with Steve & Barry's replacing the former Linens 'n Things space that same year. In 2006, Marshall Field's converted to a Macy's, but in 2008, Steve & Barry's went out of business, and the space got replaced by H. H. Gregg in 2010. In 2016, the H. H. Gregg would close and get replaced by TJ Maxx in 2017. In 2018, TJ Maxx relocated to the Southfield Center and Carson's would close. In 2019, Sears closed, and in 2020, Lord & Taylor closed, and Bob's Discount Furniture replaced the former TJ Maxx space
