Yorktown Center

Yorktown Center is an enclosed regional shopping mall located in the village of Lombard, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Opened in 1968, the mall currently features more than 100 stores on two levels. Anchor stores include Carson Pirie Scott, JCPenney, and a flagship Von Maur (the largest store in the Von Maur chain). The mall also features two junior anchor stores: HomeGoods and Marshalls. Other amenities include a food court, a movie theater (AMC Theatres,formerly a General Cinema), and an outdoor concourse of shops known as The Shops on Butterfield.

At the time of its 1968 opening, the 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m2) Yorktown Center ranked as the largest shopping center in America. 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. The mall even contained two two-story junior anchors: Madigan's, a department store near the Wieboldt's end of the JCPenney wing, and Woolworth's, a dime store near the Montgomery Ward anchor. Other major tenants included Chas. A. Stevens and Herman's World of Sporting Goods.

North of the mall proper, a strip mall dubbed the "Convenience Center" was constructed. This was originally anchored by a Grand Union supermarket, which later became a Scandinavian Design furniture store and most recently (as of 2008) a furniture store for the mall's Carson Pirie Scott anchor. Other perimeter buildings included auto centers for the JCPenney and Montgomery Ward anchors, a movie theater, and two restaurants.
