Proliferation of Chicago Discount Stores Restricted by New Law

Ordinance prohibits new dollar stores from opening within mile of existing outlets.

Chicago is aiming to limit the proliferation of discount stores, also known as dollar stores, with a new law that limits how many of these outlets can operate in the same neighborhood.

The City Council in a 42-7 vote adopted a measure, known as the small-box retailer ordinance, which blocks dollar stores from opening with one mile of existing discount outlets.
