Midland Plaza Shopping Center is strategically located at the junction of Illinois Route 78 and US Route 34, directly across a six-lane intersection from Wal-Mart Supercenter and in Kewaneeʼs growing retail corridor. This proven site has exceptional visibility and accessibility.
After 37 years, Midland Plaza today remains Kewanee's largest shopping center, providing essential goods and services and entertainment for all of Kewanee, proud of its legacy of generating millions in sales and real estate tax revenues for the City of Kewanee while becoming part of the community of Kewanee.
Today, through the retail real estate company Cohen founded, and with Lou Little's continuing support, the Midland Plaza success story continues. Existing stores are stable and flourishing. New stores will open soon. Future expansions and renovations are planned. And the largest and original Shopping Center in Kewanee is on track to continue as the largest and the best retail in Kewanee.
Part of the community. Part of its progress.
