Summit Shopping: Woodfield Mall

What trip to another city would be complete without a little shopping? Whether you forgot something at home, need to do a little window-shopping as a distraction, or want to pick up something to take home to your family and friends, Woodfield Mall will meet your needs. Woodfield Mall is Chicagoland’s largest shopping experience with almost 300 stores within the enclosed mall. The mall has many traditional anchor stores such as Sears, Penney’s, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor’s, and Nordstrom. There are also many specialty stores and restaurants to pique your interest. If you find yourself needing a different shirt or piece of clothing to supplement the items you packed, or you want to pick up something special as a treat, Woodfield stores will exceed your needs and expectations. The restaurants at Woodfield Mall will cover any type of craving that you might experience. There are many smaller restaurants and snack shops for a quick bite to eat such as Red Robin or McDonald’s. You will also find several upscale restaurants such as Texas de Brazil, Rainforest Café, and Cheesecake Factory. Additionally, there are many specialty shops for a quick treat. If you are in the mood for a decadent cinnamon roll, there is Cinnabon bakery or Baskin-Robbins for ice cream. There are multiple specialty chocolate shops such as Godiva Chocolates or cookie stores like Mrs. Fields. Something for everyone’s taste. As if 300 stores were not enough variety, the mall is bordered by two smaller malls: Woodfield Village Green and Streets of Woodfield. Similar to Woodfield Mall proper, the smaller malls have a variety of stores as well as restaurants. Woodfield Mall is approximately 20 minutes west of Rosemont and easily accessibly by local expressways and transportation.
