2000s

The problems for Randhurst continued as one of Chicago's first lifestyle centers, Deer Park Town Center, opened in north suburban Deer Park in 2000. Open-air shopping centers began to regain popularity during this era and were attracting patrons who historically shopped at Randhurst. Meanwhile, Randhurst suffered the loss of its

Redevelopment

In April 2007, the village of Mount Prospect approved a plan that included the demolition of the core of Randhurst. Designs by Larry Beame of Beame Architectural Partnership enabled the existing anchors to remain standing and be integrated into the redeveloped lifestyle center. Beame said the goal was to create "a traditional Main Street shopping experience" that features a primary retail street with diagonal parking and public spaces for socializing. The redevelopment was set to begin within two years. Randhurst's final shopping day was Tuesday, September 30, 2008. By then, only two stores remained open inside the mall: Fashion Plus and Your Choice Gifts. Both stores were ordered by management to be vacated by 9:00pm CST. Demolition began in late 2008. The first building to be demolished were the mall offices near Carson Pirie Scott so a new loading ramp could be constructed for the department store. The mall was then gutted as it still contained hazardous asbestos insulation. By the summer of 2009, visible demolition work had begun on the mall’s core. Less than eleven months after Randhurst closed, the mall's signature dome was pulled down on August 28, 2009, ending the existence of Cook County's first enclosed mall.
