Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were saying that you weren't concerned because you fell under the size limit.
Well, I'm less concerned than they are. But in 10 years from now I could definately see this being lowered to 20k sq ft retail building. Our average wages right now in that area are close to $15/hr anyway but we have quite a few bag boys, cashiers, and service counter people that are around $7-8/hr part time. These are mainly high school & college kids. Throw on 2-3/raise + $3 in benefits and we'd consider leaving the Chicago area. Our stores are technically outside of Chicago for the time being (Geneva & Kildeer) but we have at this time plans to open 2 stores inside Chicago in the next couple of years.
