Novak Development left dozens of the vendors at the Little Village Discount Mall out of a new lease, Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez said Thursday.
The announcement came as a shock to vendors on the side of the mall left out of the deal and on Thursday, Sigcho-Lopez met with John Novak of Novak Construction and city officials to discuss the future of the remaining vendors.
The statement explained that an agreement about the rate of the rent could not be reached, as sources had told the Sun-Times earlier, and urged the vendors to liquidate their stores in the meantime.
