Chicagoans are seeing a variation on the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” playing out in the city. Areas of the city are being labeled as “food deserts” because there are no grocery stores nearby, and residents only have themselves to blame.
According to ABC7 in Chicago, “In the past five years on the South Side, store closings have included a Whole Foods, two Targets and three Walmarts.” These are stores that would generally be considered too large to fail, but they are struggling with maintaining profitability.
