History
Fashion City originally opened in 1980 as a 2-story indoor mall called Cicero Mall with Sears, Marshall Field's, JCPenney, and Bergner's. MainStreet was then added as an anchor in 1986 and then Montgomery Ward in 1987. Bergner's and MainStreet became Carson's and Kohl's respectively in 1989. Cicero Mall closed in 1990 and was torn down (except for the anchors) that same year. All anchor stores except for Marshall Field's and Montgomery Ward moved out of the mall and scattered their new locations in different suburbs of Chicago. Cicero Mall opened in 1991 as the new Fashion City, and the new Outlet City opened that same year. The new Fashion City opened with Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Lord & Taylor as new anchors. Neiman Marcus replaced the former Sears, Saks replaced the former JCPenney, Bloomingdale's replaced the former Carson's, and Lord & Taylor replaced the former Kohl's. The new Outlet City opened in 1991 with Sears Outlet, Filene's Basement, Syms, and Saks Off 5th. Sears Outlet closed in 1993, and became JCPenney Outlet Store in 1994. Montgomery Ward closed in 1995 and became Nordstrom in 1996. Marshall Field's became Macy's in 2006. In 2011, a triple blow happened to Outlet City with JCPenney Outlet Store, Filene's Basement, and Syms leaving. The former JCPenney Outlet Store became Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store in 2012. Neiman Marcus Last Call replaced Filene's Basement in 2013, along with Sports Authority replacing Syms, which closed in 2016. The former Sports Authority became Kohl's Off Aisle in 2017, which is a outlet store by Kohl's that lasted 4 years from 2015 to 2019. Kohl's Off Aisle closed in 2019, and has been replaced by Nordstrom Rack in 2020. Lord & Taylor and Neiman Marcus Last Call both closed in 2020. In 2021, AMC Theatres and Crate & Barrel opened as outparcel anchors, Von Maur replaced Lord & Taylor, and TJ Maxx replaced Neiman Marcus Last Call

In 2023, it was announced that Rosie's Supermarket and Kohl's would construct their new stores. They are expected to be open in 2025. Barnes & Noble is coming soon in a vacant in-line store space and is expected to be open in Summer 2024
