November 8, 2018 – The Cross County Mall in Mattoon, Illinois recently came under new ownership. Rural King Realty LLC took over the 300,000-square-foot enclosed mall which is currently anchored by JCPenney. Rural King is set to open January 2019 in a 75,000-square-foot former Sears, and Scotty’s Brewhouse will also be joining within the year. These two new additions will draw residents from up to 45 miles away for a more experience-driven shopping destination. Rural King caters to a rural consumer, offering sporting and outdoor goods, lawn and garden, working apparel, food, household, farm, and livestock accessories. The retailer provides a unique shopping experience as customers are welcome to grab some popcorn and a cup of coffee as they shop. Rural King has their corporate office and distribution center in Mattoon.
Scotty’s Brewhouse will be serving up craft beer and their fresh, signature ground chuck that is used in every burger while making most sauces and dressings in-house. The restaurant entices the sports fan with lots of TVs and lively atmosphere.
The mall, which is located at the crossroads of Interstate 57 and State Route 16, is the primary shopping destination in the Charleston-Mattoon area, a market of over 100,000 people and home to two colleges.
