The Little Village Discount Mall will stay open for at least a couple of more weeks, Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th) announced Tuesday.
It will stay open until at least Feb. 16, when vendors, city officials and the mall’s owner, John Novak, will meet to discuss a plan for the future of the site that includes the nearly 100 vendors who pay rent to sell their merchandise, Sigcho-Lopez said.
The announcement comes a day before the mall was set to shut its doors.
“The Discount Mall is not closed, and it is not going to close. Our intention is to maintain these jobs,” Sigcho-Lopez said at a news conference at La Baguette Bakery and joined by vendors who have been fighting to keep their stalls.
“These jobs represent the economic engine of 26th Street, and before the pandemic represented more than $900 million that we contributed to the city,” Sigcho-Lopez said.
Nearly 100 vendors at the Little Village Discount Mall are at risk of losing their stalls Feb. 1 as their leases expire. Since opening in 1991, the Discount Mall at the intersection of 26th and Albany streets, near the iconic “Bienvenidos a Little Village” arch, has become a destination for Mexican and Latino shoppers around Chicago.

The meeting will consist of vendors, the alderperson, the Chicago Department of Planning and Development and someone from the mayor’s office, the alderperson said. He added that Novak still hasn’t presented a formal plan for the site to the city.
The alderperson said that if the meeting doesn’t produce a mutually beneficial plan that includes the vendors, he will will look for the city to purchase the property. Sigcho-Lopez said there was precedent for such a move, citing a controversial lot in Pilsen on 18th and Peoria that went through several developers before being bought by the city in 2021.
Sigcho-Lopez also said that two vendors at the mall have already received eviction notices saying that they had until Feb. 6 to leave. The alderperson said those notices were “illegal”and violated the city’s Fair Notice Ordinance.
Under the ordinance, landlords must provide 60 days’ notice before terminating a lease for renters who have been at a property for less than three years and 120 days for those who have been there longer.
Novak could not be reached for comment.
“We want to assure all the businesses in the area that we know the rights of the workers at the Discount Mall,” Sigcho-Lopez said.
Novak, who is president of Novak Construction and bought the 6-acre property in 2019, has in the past cast doubt on keeping the mall open and said he planned to eventually bring in national retail chains.
Vendors have been pushing for the owner to meet with them and include them in any changes coming since the property was bought.
Veronica Gutierrez, who has worked as a vendor at the mall for several years, said the location has been a major part of her life.
“I got here in ’93 and have lived in Little Village since,” Gutierrez said. “I got the opportunity to work at the mall and have worked there my whole life. The mall has given me a lot, thank God.”
Yvette Castaneda, a doctor who works in the area, said the mall is a safe space for youth in the area and serves as a deterrent to violence.
“There are very few healthy spaces that are free of violence in the community, and the Discount Mall is one of those places,” Castaneda said. “Young people can work there in the summer and find areas where they can develop their talents.”

The official trailer for Saban Films‘ upcoming independent comedy titled A Little White Lie has been released, featuring Michael Shannon as a handyman who assumes the identity of an elusive and famous writer. The film will make its debut on March 3 in theaters and on VOD.
The A Little White Lie trailer shows Kate Hudson’s Simone Cleary, an English professor who tries to revive her department by inviting the famous writer Shriver to their college literary festival. However, the only problem is that she mistakenly sent the invitation to the wrong person.
Based on Chris Belden’s 2013 novel titled Shriver, A Little White Lie is written and directed by Michael Maren. Joining Shannon and Hudson are Don Johnson (Knives Out), Zach Braff (Scrubs), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), Aja Naomi King (How to Get Away with Murder), Kate Linder (The Young and Restless), Wendie Malick (Dream On), Peyton List (Cobra Kai), and more.
“Shriver, a down-on-his-luck handyman who has never read a book in his life, is mistaken for a famous writer that has been in hiding for over 20 years,” reads the synopsis. “With nothing to lose, he accepts an invitation to attend a college literary festival and finds himself surrounded by adoring fans and an English professor who captures his heart. Shriver must do whatever it takes for his shot at love in this fish-out-of-water comedy.”
The film is produced by Jina Panebianco and Michael J. Reiser for CaliWood Pictures, Robert Ogden Barnum, Byron Wetzel, Lucas Jarach, and Josh Kesselman. Executive producers are Wesley R. Sierk, III, John D. Straley, and Joseph Panebianco.

DETROIT – The Detroit Pistons game scheduled for Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena has been postponed because the team is having trouble getting out of Dallas following their game two nights ago, according to ESPN.
The Pistons last played Monday night (Jan. 30) against the Dallas Mavericks, and they’ve been stuck in the Dallas-Fort Worth area ever since due to weather and flight complications.
The area experienced freezing temperatures earlier this week, and thousands of flights were canceled due to ice.
Detroit was scheduled to host the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena, but the game has been postponed.
The Pistons and Wizards have been officially told by the league that tonight's game is postponed, source tells ESPN. No makeup date yet. https://t.co/tzXA28v5wq
The next game on the Pistons’ schedule is Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets, also at LCA.
After Monday night’s loss, the Pistons have dropped three-quarters of their games (13-39) and are just percentage points ahead of the Houston Rockets in the battle for worst record in the NBA.
