Hawthorn Mall has been a significant part of the Vernon Hills community for years. Managed by Centennial, the mall aims to reflect the style and personality of local residents while maintaining high standards for safety and comfort. Visitors have praised the delicious offerings, particularly pancakes and Belgian waffles, and highlighted the superb service and elegant ambiance. However, some reviews note that the mall has many empty storefronts and limited dining options, with only two restaurants currently open in the food court. Despite these challenges, there is optimism about ongoing updates to improve the mall's appeal. The presence of Macy's remains a key attraction, and there is hope that the mall will thrive with community input and revitalization efforts. Hawthorn Mall continues to be a place for shopping, dining, and gathering with friends and family.

Total gem in the NW suburbs. It’s a very clean, new mall. Well maintained with a lot of options for shopping, games and food. Much better than many other malls in the Chicagoland area.

Good for indoor walking. The amount of store vacancies in this mall reminds me of Northbrook Court. There is a lot of remodeling work going on.
