The Fashion Outlets of Chicago, located in Rosemont, Illinois, marks the first fully enclosed mall to open in the Chicago-area in over 20 years. The 530,000 square foot structure is developed, owned and operated by AWE Talisman and managed by Macerich, a leading national mall developer.

For the opening, Boston Barricade Company installed its newest product, PlankWalz, along with full graphic wraps of the Fashion Outlets logo, in spaces where build out of new stores in time for the grand opening was not possible.

Vice President of Tenant Coordination, Lynn Lovell, said, "Working with Boston Barricade, as we do nationwide, was efficient and hassle-free. Opening a new project like Fashion Outlets of Chicago is a real challenge and Boston Barricade Company made the barricade and graphics piece easy."

PlankWalz, developed by the Boston Barricade team, is a unique reusable construction enclosure in that it is completely seamless with concealed fasteners and either bullnosed or 90-degree corners. The seamless design allows for smooth installation of graphics, including full-wraps over the enclosure. PlankWalz are safely installed as indoor and outdoor construction enclosures and are ASTM E84 'Class A' fire rated. Further, PlankWalz can be repurposed and recycled.

Boston Barricade Company successfully installed their PlankWalz enclosures, along with wrinkle-free graphics, at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago, in time for the grand opening on August 1, 2013.

Boston Barricade Company is the largest barricade enclosure and graphics company in the U.S.A. Headquartered in Vero Beach, Florida, the company operates multiple service centers around the country, allowing it to serve its customer base of national retailers, mall developers and general contractors. Boston Barricade Company has been in the enclosure and graphics business for near a quarter of a century.
