Little Village Chicago Discount Mall vendors were pleading for help outside City Hall Wednesday morning as their move-out looms.
Little Village residents, mall vendors and advocates gathered at City Hall Wednesday morning, asking for help.Forty of the mall's vendors were expected to vacate the property this week, after the mall owner was unable to reach an agreement to extend the lease with only one of the mall's two operators, threatening hundreds of jobs.
The mall was purchased by Novak Construction in 2020 to make improvements to the property, including new facades, roofing, infrastructure and parking upgrades.One vendor said decades of hard work could be destroyed. "I think we deserve to be treated fair 'cause we don't have a place to go. We cannot just go on the street. We have bills to pay. We need a relocation. We need something fair for us," mall vendor Miguel Gutierrez said.Vendors are also touring a potential new site later Wednesday afternoon.
