Huntley Factory Shops To Open August 17th
By Tracey Schwartz
Huntley Factory Shops general manager, Julie Kroubetz, addressed the Huntley Senior Citizens Club at their 20th anniversary luncheon meeting last Thursday, July 28th. Kroubetz announced the new outdoor outlet complex would open its doors at 10am on Thursday, August 17, with a ribbon- cutting ceremony and festivities that day and throughout the weekend.
Kroubetz explained the mall will open in four phases. Most of the 50 stores in the first phase will open on the 17th. The large rotunda seen from Rt. 47 and 1-90 will be a food court. Made up of eight vendors, the court will offer a variety of tastes including oriental, mexican, Italian and american cuisine. According to Kroubetz, other amenities at the mall will include an
information booth, children's playground, resting areas, fountain and beautiful landscaping.
Although Kroubetz would not reveal the names of any of the mall's stores, she said the store types would include men's, women's and children's apparel, shoes and housewares. She emphasized that the merchandise available at the mall would be almost entirely overstock, not seconds, of brand names commonly available from retail department stores. Kroubetz explained that part of her job was to make sure the outlet stores in the mall are truly offering discounted prices by cost comparing in area retail stores.
The seniors discussed with Kroubetz ideas in the works for senior programs at the mall including walking.

discounts, and possible food court uses for the group. In conclusion, Kroubetz reminded everyone that the mall hours will be Monday through Saturday from 9am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm, and not to forget their credit cards.
