Market Place Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Champaign, Illinois, USA. Its anchor stores are Bergner's, J. C. Penney, Dick's Sporting Goods and Macy's.

History

The mall opened in 1975.

The mall has a high occupancy rate, and annually has a large amount of shopper traffic.[citation needed] In May 2004, the management, General Growth Properties, was successful in signing JC Penney back into the mall. JC Penney had left the property (and the region) 5 years previously.[2]

The shopping center acquired a Tuscany-themed Italian villa setting as part of a renovation and expansion project, completed in August 1999.[3] This same renovation and expansion project brought the mall up to Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). of Gross leasable area.[4]

In 2013, it was announced that Sears would be closing in 2014. Sears had operated in Champaign continuously since 1928, and opened its store at the mall in 1975.[5] Dick's Sporting Goods took over the space in October 2015.
