Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Non Disclosure of information

I worked for a Nextel cell phone store which the owner asked if I wanted to buy it in Dec 05. My fiance and I agreed and took ownership Mar 05. 3months later we found out that Sprint was buying Nextel. If I had known that I would not have bought the store...Within a couple of months we found out that dealers were informed in Dec of the buyout...we were never told about it. What recourse do I have?
