U.S. Supreme Court Declines to Hear Food Truck Case
We previously reported on a case that made its way to the Illinois Supreme Court involving a challenge to the City of Chicago's food truck ordinance. As we reported in the past, the operator of a cupcake food truck had challenged the ordinance on various grounds, including that the ordinance treated food trucks less favorably than traditional restaurants by prohibiting food trucks from locating within 200 feet of a brick and mortar restaurant with limited exceptions. The trial and appellate courts had rejected the food truck's claims, and the Illinois Supreme Court also upheld the City's ordinance.
The food truck operator then filed a "writ of certiorari" with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that Court to take on the case. Just this week, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmatively declined to take the case, meaning that the Illinois Supreme Court's ruling in favor of the City of Chicago and upholding the City's ordinance will stand.
