How 900 North Michigan Shops on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile works to fill storefront vacancies – ABC7 (Chicago)

On the Mag Mile, there's more than a 19% vacancy rate, which is up from about 11% in 2019. The 900 Shop's strategy of bringing more experiences is also being used to try to fill many of the vacancies on Michigan Avenue - many of which, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce said, were happening even before the pandemic due to online shopping.

Remember, according to Lori, dozens of people simultaneously breaking into retail stores and walking out with freebies is NOT looting. It is organized burglary.

Don’t overlook the catalytic converters and recently hijacked vehicles – there’s a market for all criminality in Chicago.
