Old Round Lake Beach Wal*Mart

The original Wal-Mart opened at the Mallard Creek shopping center in the mid-1980s, and will be closing later this month while a new one opens just north.

 

The closure of this Walmart will mark the end of Mallard Creek as its other anchor; Dominick's (former OMNI Superstore) closed about 2 years ago. I've heard more condos will be going in here.

 

Lots of memories here.

 

UPDATE: Within a week the signage came down revealing this storefront was once brown. The entire store has since received some odd "pastel-tannish" paint color.

 

UPDATE 2015: Demolished to build Meijer.
