It must be a "green" thing. The city planners take the green out of our pockets to fund low income jobs which are non manufacturing and comply with the green agenda. I suppose a mattress store will provide a lot of "mattress potatoes" with plenty of leisure, therefore, reducing the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity. Mattress firms could actually save the world and reduce the carbon footprint of every individual provided they hang up their bikes, turn off the heater, and embrace a vegan lifestyle. Perhaps, we could advertise Janesville as a true bedroom community? Being the "City of Parks" sounds nice but it doesn't seem to be attracting much in the way of good paying wages or tourism of any sort.

Another mattress store? Hmmm... I suppose we could always use another one- like we could use another Walgreen's.

Why so many of these?
The unemployment rate is high so we need a bed to "not get out of"?

Great idea newswacko! Then super-size it and put it into the old Menard's building! The path of commercial development in Janesville is puzzling to say the least.

maybe we are missing a golden opportunity. If we were to combine a mattress store with a check cashing store and an auto parts store we would have all the bases covered.
