Yes, it is a great start and I agree that it will be a long time before much expansion into the inner city occurs. That said a local chain did open a new store in the heart of downtown a few years ago and does maintain a store on the near North Side along with other city locations, so while not perfect (what really ever is, when you get down to it?). The city does have some stores available.

Thanks for the link to the story about Chicago and Your thoughts on the issue.
