The busy intersection of Golf and Elmhurst Roads is one of the shopping centers in the neighborhood with retail options. The Golf Plaza II Shopping Center has a KD Market, with primarily Polish and Eastern European-based foods. That same influence is in the deli section, where meats and cheeses are sourced from local producers and Europe. Ball Factory is next door and has an indoor playground with slides, a climbing area and various options for kids to burn off energy. A café is also available during breaks for kids and adults. Kohl’s is part of the Mount Prospect Center. Ramen Misoya, a Japanese noodle restaurant, is on Busse Road and not part of a shopping center. “It has a cult following throughout Mount Prospect and nearby areas.
