Uniqlo has other stores on State Street and at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg.

Target was reportedly eyeing the latter vacancy for a time, but no replacements have been confirmed.
"Target has a great reputation as a company it's got a very strong balance sheet it's earnings were strong in 2020 and we would look forward to welcoming them or another similarly strong store in that space," Magnificent Mile Association President Kimberly Bares said earlier this year.
