The Sports Authority, coming soon at 1033 N Elmhurst Rd in Mount Prospect has plans to open on Friday, August 6, 2010. The building faces west toward Elmhurst Road, just south of Bed, Bath and Beyond. The new sports store is basically a move from the old Arlington Heights location on Rand Road just West of Arlington Heights Road.
Jersey Mike’s, Five Guys, Chipotle Mexican Grill and T-Mobile have already opened at Randhurst Village. PNC Bank, PetSmart and The Hampton Inn have signed leases with plans to open within the year or two. The plans for the PetSmart location put the new store at the current theater, which is being replaced by a new state-of-the-art theater.
A new approximately 2,000 seat theatre will anchor the Mainstreet section of Randhurst Village — replacing the existing 16-plex at Randhurst. Groundbreaking for the new theater was Tuesday, May 18, 2010.
AMC Randhurst-12 will be the company’s first LEED certified theatre incorporating several elements of environmentally sustainable design ranging from the use of locally sourced materials for construction, energy conservation through the use of efficient mechanical systems with no harmful discharge of CFCs into the environment, and water conservation through the use of low-flow fixtures among several other sustainable initiatives.
