Do you have fond memories of walking through and shopping at the old Randhurst Shopping Center in Mount Prospect? Spending leisurely Saturday afternoons shopping and dining with your friends? Enjoying the many special events they held and taking your children to visit both Santa and the Easter Bunny? Can you name its various anchor stores as they changed over the years?
If so, take note that the Mount Prospect Historical Society has received permission from DLC Management, the current owners of the Randhurst property, to create and sell a blue and white t-shirt honoring Randhurst – the largest indoor, air-conditioned shopping center in the upper Midwest when it opened.
The permission has been issued for a very short period of time, so if you are interested, you need to jump on the opportunity, according to Emily Dattilo, director.
The new Randhurst t-shirt is now available for pre-order through April 19, 2021 on the Society’s website at https://www.mtphist.org/shop-2/. The shirts come in many sizes and begin at $25. If you’d like to learn more about the history of Randhurst, you can purchase the Randhurst Bundle for $45. This deal includes a Randhurst t-shirt and a copy of the book Randhurst: Suburban Chicago’s Grandest Shopping Center by former Society Director Greg Peerbolte. Orders are expected to ship the week of May 3, 2021.
