Are you wondering which businesses will leave your city? Here is a roundup of the physical stores that will leave Chicago. The shuttering is due to high inflation, low sales, bankruptcy, and economic shocks. After much deliberation, the owners decided the best action was permanent lockdowns.
The businesses range from a local hardware store to Michigan Avenue retailers.
