Just Where Does This Go?

OK, this is a picture of the side of the Kohls department store. It's the side of the store that faces the street that runs between Kohls and Hobby Lobby. You'll notice the very nice set of concrete steps that lead to.....a blank wall! Actually it looks like there might have been a door there at one time, but what happened to it? I noticed this last year and finally had a chance to take a pic of it. Every time I see it I think of the construction workers who put the steps in. They were probably asking themselves, "What the heck are we doing this for?" If anyone knows the story behind these "steps to nowhere", feel free to let us know!
