Ahmed Mohsin’s East Garfield Park gas station has been ordered closed by the city — and he doesn’t know why, or when he might be able to reopen.
They agreed, Mohsin said.
"Now I feel like I am a victim, with a closed business and questions I cannot answer," Mohsin said Thursday morning.Mohsin said the company will meet an attorney for the city on Monday to hear terms for reopening, and if Citgo doesn’t agree to those terms, they will present their case at a probable cause hearing on Tuesday. If the city prevails, the station could be forced to close for another six months, Mohsin said.
Mohsin, joined by members of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce and local gas station owners and employees, held a news conference outside the Quik Mart on Thursday to demand his station be reopened. A spokesperson for the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection said the city is "committed to the highest level of public safety at buildings and businesses to ensure safe and legal operations throughout the city," and works to provide business support programs.
