The Chicago dollar stores can withstand the restrictions where new locations can open and it can be added to show that they are trying to keep their premises clean as the city council considers an ordinance to target them on Wednesday.
The so-called small-box retailer ordinance will prevent store operators from opening in new places within a mile. New stores will be required to display placards with maintenance and emergency information.
The law -sponsors of businesses try to curb Matt O’she, saying that the poor have access to healthy food in the neighborhood and are left across the city.
Osia said at the January 1 hearing on the ordinance, “This is not a struggling small business, which is barely over.” “It is a Fortune 200 company that has not exhibited at all interested in being a good neighbor or being responsible for the local government.”
This law is ready to pass, many Aldermen said on Tuesday.
It targets medium -sized stores that usually charge less than $ 5 for goods. This creates several exceptions to focus on dollar shops, including passes for pharmacies, gas stations and special food reserves.
According to O’She, three main dollar stores are 150 locations in the stores – dollars, dollars, general and family dollars – the entire Chicago.
He first presented an ordinance in early October, and the committee passed a month before the vote delay during the presence of its first full city council. The dollar store operators said they were surprised to know that the law would come for one vote on Wednesday, a push further says that Escuse has fulfilled efforts to reach an agreement.
The law originally demanded the operators to stop opening new stores at a distance of two miles before shortening the distance.
The ordinance involves exemption that the new dollar stores allow to open within one mile of each other if they plan to dedicate at least 10% of their floor for fresh foods such as meat, seafood, and production.
But despite the small range, the dollar Tree argued that the radius of one-meal would be the amount of “essentially a restriction” on new stores and would not help solve the crisis of Chicago’s food desert.
The company’s statement said, “In fact, as many of our interactions have been accepted by many government officials, it will cause more damage with the help of communities that it claims to improve shops and support flexibility to provide new offerings to people in these communities,” the company’s statement says.

The dollar tree, which also owns a family dollar, said it is “committed to improve our work.” The company pledged that it was working more closely with the government and improving the shops “where there was historically insufficient investment.”
The company wrote, “We understand and support the desire to improve things, and we are committed to the city and our stores, our people and our customers in Chicago.”
The city council will vote for an ordinance starting a comprehensive staffing analysis of the Chicago Police on Wednesday.
And Alderman was designed to consider a series of expensive settlements at Wednesday’s meeting, including a $ 3.25 million disposal for a woman’s family, killed by a police cruiser and allegedly died in part after three years after her serious injuries.
