Three new national retail chains are coming to Pekin next year.

Cullinan Properties announced Tuesday that Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, and the previously announced Five Below, will join the tenant lineup at East Court Village in Pekin, with openings scheduled for Fall 2025.

“These retailers will help meet the real-world needs and interests of our neighbors here in Pekin and throughout the region, offering more choice and convenience,” Cullinan Properties chairperson Diane Cullinan Oberhelman said in a release. “Our goal is to provide a functional, welcoming environment where people can find what they need — all in one place.”

East Court Village, located on Illinois Route 9, a high-traffic corridor that connects Pekin to Peoria and Bloomington, is anchored by such regional and national chains as Hobby Lobby, Tractor Supply Co. and Petco. The new stores are in the location of the former Bergner’s.

Oberhelman said East Court Village is being upgraded, and these improvements aim to support the city’s economic growth by creating jobs and encouraging further development.

“Pekin is pleased to see these well-known retailers choose East Court Village for their new locations,” Pekin Mayor Mary Burress said. “Their arrival means more shopping options, more convenience, and more employment opportunities right here in our city.”
