If you build it, they will come \u2014 or, in the case of one of Wilmette\u2019s soon-to-be new businesses, if you dream it, they will build it.<\/p>\n

The Illinois-based furniture and design company Walter E. Smithe is planning a new location in Wilmette\u2019s Edens Plaza, village officials announced during a Village Board meeting on April 28. <\/p>\n

The company reportedly hopes to set up shop in Suite 390, the massive, newly vacant storefront that used to house The Great Escape. <\/p>\n

Lisa Brosnan, Wilmette\u2019s business development planner, said Walter E. Smithe hopes to open in 2027.<\/p>\n

The Great Escape departed Edens Plaza in late 2025 to move to a new location in nearby Northbrook.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really excited about this because that\u2019s such a big space,\u201d Brosnan told The Record<\/em> after the meeting, adding \u201cI think they\u2019re going to make some improvements as well to make the space nicer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toward the conclusion of her presentation to the board, Brosnan said Walter E. Smithe\u2019s lease at Edens Plaza was \u201crecently signed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edens Plaza owner WS Development sent a letter to the Village on April 20 announcing Walter E. Smithe\u2019s intentions to modify the interior and exterior of the suite. The letter, which The Record <\/em>reviewed, specifically mentions a \u201c34-page submission package titled \u2018Proposed Walter E. Smithe Showroom.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly after Great Escape\u2019s exit from the center, representatives from WS Development, the Boston-based developer that owns Edens Plaza, reportedly told village officials that they may consider breaking the large storefront into multiple different offerings.<\/p>\n

Now with Walter E. Smithe in tow, however, there is no indication the mall\u2019s owner has such intentions moving forward.<\/p>\n

WS Development employed a similar tactic to fill one of Edens Plaza\u2019s previous sizable vacancies, breaking the former Bed Bath and Beyond storefront<\/strong><\/a> into three separate spaces.<\/p>\n

The impending addition to the village\u2019s largest shopping center is another signature newcomer joining Edens Plaza. The mall has secured a number of high-profile tenants since WS Development reached a tenant agreement in late 2021 to buy the center and its 335,000 square feet of retail space.<\/p>\n

In 2024, online-retail giant Wayfair became the new anchor<\/strong><\/a> of the mall, opening its first brick-and-mortar location in the former site of Carson Pirie Scott, which abandoned the 150,000-square-foot space in 2018.<\/p>\n

Since then, Edens Plaza has seen a flurry of new businesses arrive, including Uncharted<\/strong><\/a>, Just Salad<\/strong><\/a> and the soon-to-open Club Studio and The Goddess and the Baker<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The recent story of the center is one of \u201cpositive momentum,\u201d Brosnan said.<\/p>\n

Walter E. Smithe has a nearby location at Golf Road and Skokie Boulevard, 9615 Skokie Blvd., in Skokie. Skokie officials told The Record<\/em> that Walter E. Smithe still operates in the space; however, the property owner has petitioned the Village to subdivide the space and bring in new tenants. <\/p>\n
