The mall includes one anchor store (Kohl's), as well as Aldi, Michaels arts and crafts store, Dick's Sporting Goods, Burlington, AMC Theatres, and a food court.

History
The Chicago Ridge Mall began construction in 1980 as a $50 billion project at the site of the former Starlite Drive-In Theatre, which closed in 1979 after a 31-year run. The entire mall opened in 1981. The Lenhdorff Group bought the mall in 1986 and sold it to JMB Realty a year later.

In July 1981, Essaness Theatres opened its triplex cinema at the mall, which later became a six-screen theater. The theatre throughout the years went into the chains of Cineplex Odeon, then Loews, and finally AMC. In 1987, a Carson Pirie Scott store was added on to the mall. In 1993, Montgomery Ward was added as an anchor in a spot previously occupied by Madigan's. The Montgomery Ward space later became Bed Bath & Beyond and Steve & Barry's, the latter of which closed in 2008. In 2010, Westfield Group confirmed that Aldi would open in 2011 in the space vacated by Steve and Barry's. In August 2015, a two-story H&M was added to the mall. Red Robin opened on November 21, 2016.

On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's would be closing as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business. The store closed on August 29, 2018.

On June 17, 2020, plans were announced for Dick's Sporting Goods to open in the lower level of the former Carson's space. The store opened on August 6, 2021.

On February 12, 2021, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 32 stores nationwide. The store closed on May 2, 2021.

On July 23, 2021, it was announced that the Disney Store would be closing as part of a plan to close at least 60 stores nationwide. The store closed on August 18, 2021. It was the last location with the original 1990's "pink and green" design.

On January 31, 2023, it was announced that Bed Bath & Beyond would close as part of a plan to close 87 stores nationwide, which will leave Kohl's, Michaels, and AMC Theatres as the only anchors left.

In March 2024, Burlington announced that it will open on May 31, 2024.
