General Info

When the Woodfield Mall opened back in 1971, Schaumburg, Illinois was a quiet rural community. Today, it's a bustling Chicago suburb with a population of nearly 75,000, and the mall, with over 300 stores, is the 11th largest in the United States. But nature still abounds. Proximity to the Great Lakes and nearby Spring Valley, which offers 135 acres of forest, an 1880's living history farm, and over three miles of hiking trails, makes this an ideal location for outdoor-loving Columbia. Columbia has been creating innovative apparel, footwear, accessories and equipment for outdoor enthusiasts since 1938. Columbia has become a leading global brand by channeling the company's passion for the outdoors and innovative spirit into technologies and performance products that keep people warm, dry, cool and protected year-round.
