About us

J.McLaughlin's Lake Forest store is located on Market Square. You can easily find us by looking for the two large towers built of limestone and wood nearby. Market Square is known as the first-planned shopping center in the United States. Located in downtown Lake Forest, Illinois, "The Square" is a historical shopping and lifestyle destination, which has evolved over a century to remain an iconic staple that resonates with today's locals and visitors. Lake Forest is close to Lake Michigan and has a pristine beach you won't want to miss. There are also plenty of fountains and walkways reminiscent of a timeless, European folk village quite like no other. The Deer Path Inn is a historical hotel that has been recently renovated with three fabulous restaurants featuring lovely English gardens with relaxing outdoor seating. Gerhards Bakery is great place to go for authentic European pastries and espresso in the morning, while Market House Restaurant has the best outdoor patio for dinner along the North Shore. This J.McLaughlin location is also a proud member of the city's Chamber of Commerce by participating in the annual sidewalk sale every July.
