Hiring Event Scheduled Ahead of Suburban Carson's Reopening

The department store that shuttered all locations in Illinois this year will reopen a new concept store

Just months after closing all of its stores, Carson’s will soon return to a Chicago suburb -- and they're hiring. 

The department store that shuttered all locations in Illinois this year will reopen its Evergreen Park location as a new concept store on Black Friday, according to CSG Generation, which acquired the retailer.

The concept store will offer Carson’s traditional brands and prices but will also feature new services like interior design and personal styling, the company said.

The store, located at 9700 S. Western Avenue, will hold a hiring at event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.

“If you are interested in joining us on this journey to Make Carson’s Great Again, please stop by or contact us through our website,” Store Manager Lisa Beardsley said in a statement, noting that former employees and customers will "receive priority consideration."

The parent company for Carson’s filed for bankruptcy in February, forcing all stores to close by the end of August.

The company was acquired by CSG Generation, which said it was “inspired by the opportunity to rebuild an American icon.”
