Boot Barn, Primark Among Five New Stores Coming to Gurnee Mills

Get ready, Lake County shoppers – Gurnee Mills is about to get even better! In a major announcement Tuesday, Simon Property Group unveiled plans to welcome five new retailers to Illinois’ largest outlet mall over the next year and a half.

The expansion adds some serious retail power to the mall’s already impressive lineup of 200 stores. Western wear enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear that Boot Barn is growing its footprint near Parking Lot B. Whether you’re in the market for authentic cowboy boots or durable work gear, they’ve got you covered with top brands like Wrangler, Ariat, and Justin.

Fashion lovers are in for a special treat as Primark prepares to open its doors. The international retail giant, known for its budget-friendly prices, will bring its mix of on-trend clothing and home goods to Gurnee. Young fashion hunters will also appreciate the addition of rue21, which specializes in must-have styles for teens and young adults.

Are you looking for the perfect blend of comfort and style? HEYDUDE is joining the mall family with their popular line of casual footwear for everyone. Perhaps the most unique addition is Reclectic, which will house a carefully selected collection from URBN’s beloved brands – think Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters – along with quality second-hand pieces from Nuuly.

These new stores represent Simon Property Group’s commitment to keeping Gurnee Mills at the forefront of retail innovation. One thing’s for sure – shopping at Gurnee Mills is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
