The list of stores the company intends to shut down by the end of the month includes four in Chicago and 23 in Algonquin, Arlington Heights, Aurora, Broadview, Calumet City, Chicago Ridge, Evanston, Geneva, Hoffman Estates, Melrose Park, Mount Prospect, New Lenox, Oak Brook, Oswego, Plainfield, Schaumburg, Skokie, South Elgin and Westchester. That will leave even more vacant storefronts in need of new tenants, just months after the liquidations of Carson’s parent Bon-Ton Stores and Toys R Us shut down dozens of big stores in Illinois — nearly 40 at Bon-Ton and 31 at Toys R Us.
