| Another Web-based group buying service has launched in Chicago, joining an increasingly crowded field pioneered by local start-up Groupon.
New York-based KGB, the company behind an eponymous text-message answer service, officially launched KGB Deals in Chicago and six other cities on Monday. Like other group buying sites, KGB will offer a daily deal for a local business. The offer is activated when a minimum number of people sign up for it. The inaugural Chicago deal is for $4 tickets to any AMC theater and covers the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will.
