Another wave of store closures is hitting Illinois malls, with 16 Claire’s and Icing locations—including the beloved Icing at St. Clair Square—shutting down soon. For many, these spots were go-to places for first ear piercings and fun accessories. The closures are part of Claire’s second bankruptcy in recent years, as more shoppers move online and malls keep losing big-name brands. With Forever 21, Express, and others also leaving St. Clair Square, it’s getting harder to find those nostalgic shopping experiences. How do you feel about the changing face of our local malls? #Business #LocalBusiness #Illinois
