Gurnee Mills

Gurnee Mills is an enclosed shopping mall in Gurnee, Illinois, within the Chicago metropolitan area. Like the nearby Six Flags Great America and Great Wolf Lodge, the mall's placement in Gurnee is intended to bring customers from both Chicago and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With 1,936,699 square feet (179, 925 m2) of gross leasable area and ten major anchor stores in its Z-shaped single-story building, it is the third shopping mall in Illinois, and the four shopping centers in Lake County. Owned and operated by Simon Property Group, it was an early part of the "Landmark Mills" chain of shopping malls developed by Western Development Corporation (which completed a corporate spin-off in 1994 as The Mills Corporation). Gurnee Mills features a variety of manufacturer outlets in addition to the more typical mall retailers, and like other nearby outlet malls it is a popular attraction for tourists visiting the Chicago area, with thousands of tour buses making stops at the mall each year. The mall draws more than 20 million visitors each year.
