Discount and Outlet Stores

Fox's
2150 North Halsted Street
(773)281-0700
---OR---
Fashion Square Mall, Skokie
(847)673-8516

Fox's is referred to as one of Chicago's "best kept secrets," and offers women's sportswear, suiting, dresses and outerwear at up to seventy percent off of retail.  Now, the great thing about these stores is that they feature new, hip styles rather than recycled themes or "last year's biggest fashion."  It's completely in-line with today's trends and will make you look like a million dollars without actually having to spend that much.  Highly recommended...see what it's all about.

 

Gurnee Hills Mall
Intersection of I-94 and Grand Avenue, Gurnee
(800)YES-SHOP

Even though it's located almost an hour outside of Chicago, the Gurnee Hills Mall is definitely noteworthy, because it features outlets of very recognizable stores, which means quality goods at reduced prices.  Some of the more noteworthy shops include Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet and Lord & Taylor Clearance Outlet, not to mention Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Planet Hollywood, and a Rainforest Cafe.  Definitely not one of those cheesy flea-market type places, the Gurnee Hills Mall is where real people shop for real bargains.
