Maywood Settles Grocery Store Lawsuit For $490,000
The Village of Maywood has settled a lawsuit with the Springbrook Grocery chain for reneging on a contract to develop the old Rite Way Grocery store at 5th Avenue and Washington. The suit cost the village $490,000, and they still don't have a grocery store.

Who was leading the board around? Gary Woll again? He has cost this village millions over the years. Maywood is a pitiful sight, especially with all of the barren land and a reduced tax base.
It's Time that the peolpe of maywood to start looking at some one that who will put the Village first and not them selfs.we need new trustees that are going to work for the people of maywood not chicago. the reason that we didn't get the store is that the Pay To Play didn't happen. Guest who didn't want it to happen? Karen Yarbrough,Gray Woll,Arduy Jacox,Rich Lopez,and Mayor Henderson Yarbrough.So there is your Grocery Store Folks.
This is horrible! Another example of poor leadership. Even when we finally get a grocery store, it'll take us 5 or more years to recoup the half million we just lost. The very reason I'm running for Mayor of Maywood is to root out this sort of incompetence, neglegence, and reckless spending. This 490K is perhaps more than the village spent all year on recreation. With this type of money we could've hired 10 more men and women to work within the village. We could've hired more police officers to patrol the streets. We could've even given dozens of summer internships to our college students returning home for summer.
My campaign led a protest and press conference on the old site of the grocery store several weeks ago. It's time for us all to stand up to demand a better community.
