STREETS OF ST. CHARLES TO WELCOME NEW TENANTS IN EARLY 2019For More Information: Anaise Berry Director of Marketing 309-999-1735 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Streets of St. Charles TO WELCOME NEW TENANTS IN EARLY 2019 (Peoria, IL, November 20, 2018) – Cullinan Properties, owner and developer of the Streets of St. Charles, announces the upcoming addition of Play Street Museum and Cherry Blow Dry Bar to its St. Charles, Missouri development. Both Play Street Museum and Cherry Blow Dry Bar will be located at 1650 Beale Street. “We are extremely pleased to welcome these concepts which are ‘first to the St. Louis market’ locations for both franchises, and further contribute to the unique mix offered at Streets of St. Charles,” stated Kathleen Brill, Vice President and Director of Leasing for Cullinan Properties, Ltd. Play Street Museum, started in Texas, offers children eight and younger a variety of interactive toys and games such as construction blocks, life-sized farm animals and miniature cities that allow them to play and pretend – much like a world class museum on a smaller scale. Play Street Museum will welcome children and their guardians during normal business operating hours Monday through Friday, while hosting events and special parties on weekends. Play Street Museum will be located on the south end of Beale Street, next to Mission Taco Joint. “Our favorite thing about Play Street Museum is that it gives kids a space to be independent, unplug, and use their imaginations. Play Street is not a typical children’s museum—because of our smaller size, children can be independent while their parents can relax knowing the kids are exploring and learning in a safe place,” stated St. Charles franchise co-owners, Nicole Simon and Kellie Geraghty. “We are thrilled to bring Play Street Museum to the St. Louis area and we know St. Charles is the perfect place to start.” Cherry Blow Dry Bar, a rapidly expanding franchise that provides premium express services including blowouts, hair extensions, makeup services and treatments, will be located facing Lombard street, adjacent to Bar Louie. Cherry Blow Dry Bar offers blowouts for hair of any length starting at about $35. Customers can pick and choose from the salon’s styling menu which includes nine different hairstyles – from updos and beachy waves to braids and voluminous curls. Salons offer three types of memberships, starting at about $59 for two monthly blowouts. Local husband and wife owners, Lance and Abby Millican, are thrilled to expand Cherry Blow Dry Bar’s presence into Missouri. “We’re excited to be located at Streets of St. Charles, where we can offer women something truly unique in glam styling, and do so at an affordable price. Our customers will enjoy the experience our services provide.” Play Street Museum and Cherry Blow Dry Bar are slated to open in February 2019.
About Play Street Museum Play Street Museum is a network of interactive children’s museums purposefully designed to encourage a young child’s sense of independence, exploration, and creativity.

QUINCY MALL INVESTS IN INTERIOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTSFor More Information: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QUINCY MALL INVESTS IN INTERIOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS (Peoria, IL – May 31, 2018) – Quincy Mall will shine a little brighter with the addition of all new LED lighting to the interior and exterior of the mall. Several environmentally friendly changes are being made as part of owner Cullinan Properties, Ltd.’s continued investment of $4 million to be put directly into the mall for enhancements and upgrades. In conjunction with Slumberland, Quincy Mall is removing the existing parking lot light fixtures and replacing them with new, brighter LED lights. Sixteen fixtures are being added to make the parking lot brighter and more secure for patrons, with more than 100 LED lights being replaced or added. Interior lighting improvements are also being made, with new LED lights replacing over 500 existing interior lighting fixtures. Additionally, common area HVAC units are being replaced and the remaining HVACs will be tuned for better, more efficient performance. These upgrades will not only make the mall brighter and more appealing, they will also allow Quincy Mall to boast a more eco-friendly footprint. The new fixtures and HVAC units are estimated to result in an annual energy savings of 423,333 kWh/yr. This is the equivalent to 315 metric tons of carbon dioxide emission, or the yearly electricity consumption of 47 households, or removing 68 cars from the road each year. “We are continually looking for ways to make Quincy Mall an even more enjoyable destination, which include a number of building enhancements, “said Sean Garrett, Director of Community Relations for Cullinan Properties. “This improvement project would not have been possible without the City of Quincy’s continued support. We are proud of Quincy Mall and are glad the City takes pride in the mall as well.” These new additions are expected to cost $375,000. Work has already begun and should be completed by mid-July. Quincy Mall recently completed a number of improvements, including skylight enhancements and flooring upgrades to the community room, hallways and bathrooms. Other upgrades made in 2017 included a new outdoor pylon sign and enhancements to the interior décor. The energy efficiency upgrades are coming on the heels of the grand opening for Que-Town Bar-B-Que at Quincy Mall. Substantial improvements were made to the Que-Town space, including new flooring, fixtures, and kitchen equipment as well as new paint and signage on the exterior of their space. Que-Town owner, Dave French, is thrilled with the high traffic his business has received since opening his doors in early May. Just returning from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cullinan Properties continues to seek retail, restaurants and other businesses at Quincy Mall and is actively pursuing area small businesses and entrepreneurs through its unique Cullinan Kickstart small business attraction program.

QUE-TOWN BAR-B-QUE OPENS AT QUINCY MALL AS SECOND CULLINAN KICKSTART TENANTFor More Information: Anaise Berry Director of Marketing 309-256-8170
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QUE-TOWN BAR-B-QUE OPENS AT QUINCY MALL AS SECOND CULLINAN KICKSTART TENANT
(Peoria, IL – May 15, 2018) – Que-Town Bar-B-Que, located at Quincy Mall, fired up its smokers, opening last week. A locally sourced barbeque restaurant, Que-Town Bar-B-Que is the second small business to open at Quincy Mall through the Cullinan Kickstart program. It is located in the 5,300 square foot space between Kay Jewelers and The Children’s Place. Que-Town Bar-B-Que features “real food, cooked real slow, with real wood” says owner David French. Menu items include ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket and chicken along with a variety of sauces and sides. The meats are slow cooked for up to 16 hours in state-of-the-art smokers and everything is made from scratch daily. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and includes a bar area and stage for live music. The majority of the space is black and white, with pops of color coming from the food and the restaurant’s patrons. “I owe this restaurant to my family and my friend, Jason” said French. “He asked me to participate in a BBQ competition at a local church. I had a $20 grill and knew I wasn’t going to win any competitions with that. I started looking into competition grills, and that’s where my passion started. Here I am now, living my dream with my own bar-b-que restaurant and Cullinan’s Kickstart program helped make that a reality.” “Que-Town Bar-B-Que is an excellent dining addition to Quincy Mall,” said Mike Jenkins, Property Manager for Quincy Mall. “We are thrilled that the combination of the Kickstart program and Dave’s dedication were able to create this delicious spot for bar-b-que lovers.” The Cullinan Kickstart program was created in June 2017 to help local entrepreneurs and small businesses overcome many of the start-up challenges involved in opening a new business. The program offers a variety of lease and financing options specifically tailored to the needs of each qualifying business locating at Quincy Mall. “Que-Town Bar-B-Que is a great testament to the purpose of the Cullinan Kickstart program,” said Sean Garrett, President of Acquisitions and Director of Community Relations for Cullinan Properties. “The program provides entrepreneurs the opportunity to pursue their dreams and find greater success than they might on their own. We look forward to introducing more small businesses to Quincy Mall through this program.” About Quincy Mall Owned and managed by Cullinan Properties, Ltd., Quincy Mall is a destination regional mall in the heart of a 60-mile trade area, anchored by Bergner’s, Sears, Slumberland and AMC Theaters.
