Enjoyed the names so well on the last list, that I went back to the website www.recordstoreday.com and found some more Illinois stores.
Champaign-- Exile on Main Street (reckon they're located on Main Street?)
It would seem that college towns are pretty-well represented by the mom and pops.
CHICAGO, as you might expect, has lots of them:
Dave's Records
Deadwax
Dr. Wax
Dusty Groove America
Gramaphone Records
Groovin' High
Permanent Record Music Experience
Raffe's Record Riot
Shake, Rattle & Read
Also, there is a chain with stores in 16 states called Half Price Books with a motto of "We buy and sell anything printed or recorded except yesterday's newspapers." They not only have books, but records, LPs, and Cds as well. Even cassettes.
I just found one in Palatine, Illinois, on US-12. Costs me some bucks to walk in that door. www.halfpricebooks.com

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
