Elgin Mall vendors hope to get a special-use permit so they can relocate to East Dundee and open in a new location in May.
The Elgin Mall's new owners on Monday presented their plans to turn a shuttered Dominick's in East Dundee into an indoor center featuring the Elgin Mall's more than 80 vendors.
"We get a lot of foot traffic," said Jose Manuel Verastegui, a co-owner of the Elgin Mall Group, adding the mall has a"loyal" customer base."There's a lot of clientele that travels just to come visit us." "I want a grocery store, but I don't want a building to sit vacant forever," Trustee Tricia Savio said.
Moving to East Dundee also would give the new ownership group a say over how the indoor mall is structured. The Elgin location, set up 20 years ago under different ownership, is an open mall where individual shops are mostly separated by cloth partitions and have open storefronts.
