What remains in Stratford Square Mall - Walk Through

- Walking through #Stratford Square Mall in #Bloomingdale, Illinois. The mall, which opened in 1981, was once a hot spot for people in the 80s and 90s. The past decade or so has brought hard times on the mall, and now with the Coronavirus pandemic, most of the mall is empty. It is pretty eerie walking around the quiet, empty mall with few businesses still operating. Most anchor stores including Sears, Carson's, and Macy's are gone.
I enjoyed this place as a young kid with my family when the mall was busy and it had the big waterfall and later cannon fountains in the middle area by the food court. It is sad to see this place slowly deteriorate over the years.

So many good memories from the 80's and 90s there.
I grew up hanging out here. So strange to see it this way.
It us sad what has happened here as I have lots of memories and it is still my local mall. I wish it still was thriving.
Me too
Amazing video!! I hope to visit this place soon! So interesting
Thank you! Might want to get there soon before it closes for good, not sure it has much longer.
I live in Canada, but I visit this mall when I see relatives in Carol Stream once a year for the past 25. Sad to see what it has become since the 90s. They had a nice fountain in front of fye.
Yup, it started as a waterfall then went to the time shooting one.
Sad to see it sooo empty, of shops and people. It doesn't look like a place to hang out in anymore! 🥺😭
It’s even emptier now.
@@chifanpatt 😭😭 Wonder how it is around Thanksgiving and Christmas?
@@tamarakurtz6690 pretty grim, I like to walk there because there are so few people
@@chifanpatt yeah, I hear ya. I'd miss at least the usual mall sounds! Lol but each to their own!
That mall was the shit back in the day. Not to mention some crazy fights by the food court too!
I remember when the old food court had the waterfall next to it when I was very little
Dang!!! Boost mobile and FYE is it I went there a month and a half ago and it was way less deserted
I love FYE!
@@chifanpatt me too it still stands through the Pandemic lol
@@bluecollarmenproductions it’s one of the few stores getting any business right now
Closing Round one and now the express could just be the nail in the coffin.stratford squares decline started with the closure of JCPenney in 2014.and then with the closure of Arby’s and Abercrombie and Fitch.then etc.etc.at one time I believe the plan was 60% entertainment and 40% retail.the closure of 25 west brewery and Harley Davidson didn’t help matters.maybe it’s time to try something new.demall this mall.save what you could in the kohl’s wing and the area around it whatever you can .any of the remaining tenants.please take a look at the ghost of the former gantos in the upper former Carsons wing.
@@markmatuga2595 agreed with everything you said. It also doesn’t help that most people will go to Woodfield. I think what they can do is observe what Fox Valley in Aurora is doing and making it more residential by building condos.
It’s sad to watch the mall I love decline quickly the second JCpenny closed I knew something big was coming.
That was a big domino that fell
That former Disney store is very cool!
It's criminal what those slumlords Namdar have done to this mall! I hope the village of Bloomingdale does not give them any tax breaks or other funds for ripping them off
Result of on line shopping
Here’s something I will let you know about.Sears will soon be left with one last store at Woodfield Mall in Schumburg Illinois.the location in Chicago Ridge Mall was announced yesterday.at one time Sears had over 3,500 stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico but less than 30 will soon be left.If you had a Sears in your mall this was once the golden ticket for success for that particular mall.
And the Woodfield locale is now closing.
Wow! That mall looks about barely on life support. I went there a few times when it first opened when I lived in Thornton,IL. But we mainly went to Woodfield mall cause my aunt and uncle lived up the road from Woodfield on Bayside dr. In Hanover Park.
I’m honestly shocked it’s lasted this long
@@chifanpatt yeah...that mall is really dead. I live in east tx now and when we go to DFW there are several malls that are on life support...but the ones that are doing well are REALLY doing well. It's strange to see that type of thing....I think it Dallas it is just an overabundance of malls, they are everywhere.
I wonder if you're mixed up a bit? I lived in Hanover (Hangover😉) as we called it. Lived off Barrington and Walnut. It took a good twenty minutes at least to get to Woodfield. Then of course as city started expanding. Longer each time.
It turns 40 March 9 th.
So which shops are still operating, and how do they manage to do it?
Kohl’s and Burlington are the two anchors still there. Few other scattered businesses including FYE, Axe Throwing, Food Court, a Jeweler and Lids are still there for now.
Is the arcade there?
It’s completely empty now
Thank you so much!
@@jakehorjes3263 yup.
@@chifanpatt thank you for posting. So much of my adolescence was spent walking those halls. I hope they are able to repurpose the building. It is designed beautifully.
