Owaynat's older brother, Ayman Owaynat, was listed on the application, as well as corporate records filed with the state, as the owner of the store. But Ayman Owaynat said he had little to do with running the store and had no contact with city officials during the application process. Ervin acknowledged that he did not know whether he had ever met Ayman Owaynat, who appears to live much more modestly than his brother, dwelling in a simple one-story house in Lincolnwood.
