Dollar Tree dissed by Chicago Alderman Matt O'Shea

Chicago's 19th Ward is getting a new retail store, but Ald. Matt O'Shea is not happy about it.

So much so that he's suggesting that residents not shop there.

Dollar Tree, a discount chain with more than 4,400 stores in 48 states, is taking over a former grocery store at 10601 Pulaski Road.

O'Shea is upset for two reasons. One is that he sees no need for another dollar store on the Southwest Side.

"Dollar stores are fine, but we have a half-dozen in the local area. At some point, you have too many of something," he said.
