Machesney Park Mall was a shopping center in

Burlington Coat Factory and Big Lots
, in an effort to transform the mall into a shopping plaza.

History

The mall was built on part of the site of the former

Prange Way, with other additional stores. Shortly after the opening, Kohl's
was added as the fourth anchor store at the mall.

In 1990, the Prange Way location at the mall was closed.

Stores

The original anchor stores of Machesney Park Mall were

Prange Way, which later became Phar-Mor, and Kohl's were added in the 1980s.[2]

A

Burlington Coat Factory store opened in the mall in September 2009.[3] Despite the announcement from JCPenney that it would close all of its outlet stores, representatives of the chain said that the Machesney Park store would remain open through 2012.[4]

On October 11, 2016,

The Bon-Ton Stores announced that Bergner's would be closing on January 31, 2017.[5]

Renovations

Since being acquired by Rubloff Development Group in December 2003, the mall has been undergoing internal demolition in preparation for redevelopment.[6] Practice Velocity, a medical software and billing company, moved into the former Kohl's in late 2013.[7] On July 18, 2018, it was announced that PCI Pharma Services would move into the vacant JCPenney store.
