I mean, besides little upscale grocery stores like Green Grocer on grand, all the area has is a Dominick's and a ghetto Jewel in Wicker Park. I am no TJ/Whole Foods scout either but I can't see why they would not do well in the area. I'm pretty sure all these people buying 500k condos and 800k homes would love one! But instead another little run-down convenience store opens next to West Town Tavern.. guys drink out of solo cups out front.. I thought this area was trying to gentrify...
The Ashland BRT would be a huge boom for this area
Natalino's is another big empty restaurant space
