Woodridge Iraq Vet Opens Discount Store in the Village

A Woodridge resident who served for four years in the Iraq War as a member of the U.S. Air Force has opened a discount retail store in his home Village, the Bugle reports.

According to the paper, Mike Uka opened 99 Names Retail/Thrift at 7400 Janes Ave. on May 12, with the store containing a wide variety of merchandise: clothing, kitchenware, various accessories and much more, all at a bargain price.

“I’m tremendously frugal, and shelling out loads of cash to buy clothing just isn’t an option,” Uka told the paper. “Our goal here is to help anybody find what they’re looking for at a very reasonable price.”
