McCormick & Schmick’s has quietly closed its longtime East Wacker Drive location in Chicago after its lease expired, marking the end of an era for the riverfront seafood & steakhouse staple. 🍽️✨ While this Loop spot is gone, the chain still has a location in Rosemont and parent company Landry’s is guiding guests toward its other concepts like Morton’s, The Palm, and Mastro’s — plus the brand has been focusing on updating and reshaping its portfolio with new sites and experiences as part of a broader plan to adapt and evolve in changing dining markets.

Mount Prospect’s beloved retail hub, Randhurst Village, is officially on the market — with a projected value of $100 million.
Home to major retailers like Costco, Home Depot, Jewel-Osco, AMC Theatres, and PetSmart, the open-air shopping center spans nearly 1 million sq. ft. and continues to anchor the area’s retail scene.
While the property’s strong tenant lineup and location make it an attractive investment, today’s retail climate and rising interest rates could make this sale a challenging one to close.

Illinois leaders are pushing back, calling the deployment unconstitutional and politically motivated.
🕐 Expected Stay: 60 days (pending court challenges)
⚖️ Status: Legal disputes are ongoing as Illinois moves to block the operation.
