Old Navy, which is moving its Matteson store from Lincoln Mall to Brookside Marketplace, will open its new store at 7410 W. 191st St. in Tinley Park with a sneak peek starting at 5 p.m. Friday.

Shoppers will have to pick up a special 20 percent off sneak peek coupon at other retailers in Brookside Marketplace.

The 15,000 square foot store will open Saturday at 9 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a host of guests and events including a DJ, stilt walkers, balloonist, and food from local restaurants including Buffalo Wild Wings, Popcorn Town & Candyland, Subway, Odyssey Country Club and Culver’s.

The opening events continue on Sunday with a costume contest. Guests can visit the store anytime to have their picture taken for the contest.

Guests can also sign up for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree.

The store will donate 5 percent of grand opening weekend sales to the local Boys & Girls Club.

Dominick's To Remain Vacant

Pete's Fresh Market, which owns the building that housed the Dominick's food store on LaGrange Road in Orland Park, said nothing will be done with the building until 2014.

Any plans for the building are on hold until a state widening of LaGrange Road from 131st to 179th streets is completed. The project will start next summer and run through 2013.

During construction, road equipment will be stored at the former store's parking lot.
