Algonquin Commons is an upper-tier outdoor shopping mall, or lifestyle center, located along Randall Road in Algonquin, Illinois, an outlying suburb of Chicago. The mall is located in Kane County, Illinois. Featuring over 80 retailers and restaurants and 600,000 total square feet, it is the largest lifestyle center in Illinois[1] and among the largest in the United States. The tenants in the center are varied, from discount clothiers, to specialty gift shops, to popular national fashion chains, to local independent shops, to big-box retailers and upscale restaurants. It was built in 2004, and continues to add shops.
The Algonquin Commons is an extremely popular place to shop, its closest rivals, Spring Hill Mall, located in West Dundee, Illinois, and the Prime Outlet Mall in Huntley, Illinois, being relatively distant. Gross annual sales tax revenue from the center exceeds $1 million. Combined with the under-construction Algonquin Galleria located across the street, it is poised to become the second largest retail complex in the state of Illinois, ranking behind only Woodfield Mall.[2] The Algonquin Commons was built by Jeffrey R. Anderson, the same developer who built the Geneva Commons, which is located in Geneva, Illinois. However, Algonquin Commons has since been sold to Inland Properties.
The Commons, as it has been locally nicknamed, is also notable for its chic, upscale appearance, including brick pavers, outdoor lighting, lush landscaping, sidewalks and brick pavers to connect the various buildings in the center, outdoor music, individually-designed storefronts, benches, and a number of events held throughout the year including public art displays, celebrity guest appearances, and horse-drawn carriage rides during the holidays.

[edit] Randall Crossing
Located immediately adjacent to Algonquin Commons, but not technically part of the center, is a smaller retail center called Randall Crossing. It is located at the immediate southwest corner of Randall Road and County Line Road, in front of Petsmart, Office Max, Ulta, Discovery Clothing, and Trader Joes.
Randall Crossing includes three buildings. The first establishment to open was restaurant Mimi's Cafe in early 2008. The center also features a multi-tenant building housing small shops and services, including Great Clips, See's Candies, Asian Cuisine, Tan 999, and T-Mobile. A third building was constructed which features a Men's Wearhouse store that opened in Spring 2009. The Eye Boutique moved from Algonquin Commons to Randall Crossing in late 2009.
