Town Center opens Friday in The Glen

BY LYNNE STIEFEL

STAFF WRITER

Almost 90 percent of The Glen Town Center's 470,000 square feet of retail space will have been leased when it officially opens it doors Friday.

Not bad, said developer Dene Oliver, considering "This is in a retail economy that has been absolutely on its tail, and consumer confidence is at an all-time low."

It's no accident that the new center is restaurant-heavy. Of some 50 tenants that will call it home, at least 15 are food establishments of some sort. The rest are specialty retailers and services.

"One of the biggest complaints you hear from North Shore residents is that there are not enough good restaurants," said Steve Frishman, principal of Mid-America Real Estate Corp., the center's exclusive leasing representative. "That's part of the reason we've received such a strong response from the restaurants."

Here's a rundown of the stores and restaurants that are located in The Glen Town Center. Those marked with an asterisk (*) had planned to open for business this weekend. The rest will be opening over the next several months.

Anchors

* The 160,000-square-foot Von Maur department store is the sixth the Davenport, Iowa-based company will open in Illinois. Emphasizing an old-fashioned approach to customer service, the store offers free gift wrapping, an interest-free charge card and free delivery. (*)

* An 80,000-square-foot Galyan's Sports and Outdoor Adventure store sells equipment for popular lifestyle activities, and "the footwear, apparel and accessories that go along with them." (*)

* The Market at Glen Town Center, run by Arkansas-based Market Foods Limited LLC, offers specialty meats, seafood, deli items, produce, spirits and gourmet groceries in a 15,000-square-foot space. The adjoining Espresso Cafe is a coffee shop, bakery, grill and salad bar.

* Knoxville, Tenn.-based National Book Warehouse Inc. is leasing an 8,272-square-foot space directly beneath the historic tower of the former Hangar One that aims to combine an upscale bookstore with the discount book mart.
