Fleischmann agreed to move out of her Huntley store after running into issues with the village. During her time there, she was accused of violating Huntley's building and sign ordinances, partially because of a 6-foot-tall, blow-up replica of Trump, according to ABC7 Chicago.
Fleischmann referred to the move by the village as "totally political," and, prior to moving out, her store was facing $500 a day in fines from the village.
