Franchise Restaurants Expand in Rogers Park, May Hurt Local Business

RP Chamber interviewed about local businesseshttps://t.co/eSQEdhRyBe

“The money stays in our local economy and our job is to stimulate the local economy,” Morton said. “For every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community.”

Loyola students are integral to this stimulation, according to Morton.
