The Cubs-owning Ricketts family has purchased three more buildings with Wrigley rooftop businesses, increasing its grip on where Cubs fans spend their dollars around the team’s historic stadium.
Sheffield Finance sold the Sheffield Avenue properties to an entity controlled by the Ricketts family, which now claims six buildings on the street with rooftop businesses.
More than a dozen rooftop businesses line Waveland and Sheffield avenues, charging admission for refreshments and bird's-eye views of Cubs games. But many have been caught up in the nasty battle with the team that’s only escalated after the Ricketts bought the Cubs in 2009.
