Chicago said goodbye to a lot of great indie stores in 2014, including Roslyn, Le Dress, Haymaker and Roam. We haven't heard about any new indie stores opening in 2015 (if you know of any, contact us!), which might tell you something about the state of retail in Chicago. But there are some exciting new Chicago stores on the horizon—all of them chains, true, but exciting nonetheless. So, by all means, check out these stores opening in 2015, but don't forget to also hit up your local vintage shops, shoe stores and home stores.
