The Ogden 6 in Naperville sits vacant due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will be part of redevelopment to the East Ogden Mall on the City’s far northeast side. The City government of Naperville announced in January that it will welcome Naperville’s second Costco at this location. Costco has entered into a purchase and sale agreement for a portion of this mall, at the northeast corner of Ogden Avenue and Iroquois Avenue, including the long-shuttered site formerly home to Kmart. Costco will be re-developing its portion of the East Ogden Mall, which has been vacant for seven years, by constructing a 159,000-square foot warehouse club facility as well as a gas station. Plans already have been submitted to the City by Costco, a worldwide leader in the membership warehouse club space, with hundreds of locations across the globe, including an existing Naperville location along Route 59. The AMC Ogden 6 was opened in 1976 and more than 21,000 signed a petition to save the theater.Jason Crane/The Voice
