Chicago has a weirdly high number of mattress chain stores. There's a stretch near me that has 3 of them in the span of 4 blocks. They've all been there for awhile and there's rarely ever anyone in them. No way these are legit businesses considering how often people buy mattresses.

Mattress stores have a way of popping up next to each other. If you see a mattress store, there's almost always another one across the street.
