Illinois Star Centre Mall

Illinois Star Centre, formerly known as Illinois Centre Mall, is an enclosed shopping mall in Marion, Illinois. Opened in 1991, it features more than 30+ stores, including Dillard's, Sears and Target as anchor stores.

 

Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation developed the mall, whose initial anchor stores were Dillard's, Target, Phar-Mor and Sears, which relocated from University Mall in Carbondale.

I​llinois Centre Mall opened in 1990, resulting in the closure of the Sears at University Mall. University Mall sued Illinois Centre Mall's developers over the use of a state financing program to relocate the store, although the suit was later dismissed. 

​

Sears and Phar-Mor opened for business in July 1991,followed by Dillard's and the mall itself in September, and Target in October.  Phar-Mor closed in 1993. It later became a Blue Cross Blue Shield Association office and then a radio-controlled car racing center in 2004.  DeBartolo sold the mall to local developers in 1996.

​

Illinois Star Centre LLC, purchased the mall in 2011 and renamed it Illinois Star Centre, and immediately started to make many Capital Improvements including having a Duro-Last roof installed on over 100,000 square feet of the complex.

​

Ideally located in Marion, Illinois, just off of Interstate 57 and Illinois Route 13, Illinois Star Centre Mall offers limitless possibilities.
