The sound of the waterfalls was my favorite. It was so loud you can hear it through half of the whole mall. I hope it will reincarnate into something that is useful to the community again

I worked at hair performers in Stratford square mall in the 80’s. Loved that mall and loved all the wonderful people I worked with! They were like family! Stratford was poopin back in the day! Great memories!

This was a beautiful mall. I lived nearby but moved out of state 8 years ago, and didn't have a chance to get back. It was failing back then, many vacant storefronts and little foot traffic. Yorktown was moribund but the remodel and addition of stores in the outlot revived it successfully. Fox Valley reinvented itself, too. Ultimately, Stratford really didn't stand much of a chance.

I lived in nearby Addison Illinois when this mall opened . I was a freshman in high school . Some good memories there . We moved away my senior year so the last time I was there was around 1983 . Sad to see it close .

There are no plans for redeveloping it, I heard it'll actually be demolished sometime this year to make way for housing

Stratford square mall is really dead!!! 😭 NOOOOOOOO! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Wow this mall just closed what a coincidence, but looking at redevelopment photos it looks like it’s gonna be turned into a modern mall cause they still have sights that say Stratford square mall so is this kinda like a comeback I guess?

You know Spring Hill Mall in West Dundee, Illinois also closed down in Spring 2024. Hope you can do a tribute video soon.

@@EricCProductions76 The place has gotten even worse since 2017. I just saw a new video of it, it's even moldier here in 2024. I would never want to set foot in there.
