Earlier this month, six companies submitted zoning requests for dispensaries at 20 locations across the city.
Windy City Cannabis submitted zoning applications to open a shop at various West Loop locations including 807 W. Randolph St. No two shops can open within 1,500 of each other.
No date for a community meeting for Windy City Cannabis has been set, according to a city website.
The company will need to gain approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
