2026 Batavia Boardwalk Shops Tenants Announced

BATAVIA, IL — Batavia MainStreet has announced the 10 tenants of the upcoming Batavia Boardwalk Shops season.

The seventh season of the Boardwalk Shops will begin May 8. The 10 tiny businesses are located at the corner of Wilson and River streets.

"Nestled in the heart of downtown Batavia, these charming micro-shops serve as a hub of creativity, culture, and community," Batavia MainStreet, the organizer of the incubator program, wrote in a news release. "Visitors can explore a thoughtfully curated mix of vendors offering high-quality, handcrafted, and specialty products — all while supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses."

Take a look at this year's tenants:

Archived Chicagoland: A community-driven independent bookstore featuring local authors and marginalized voices.

Bad Luck Club: A colorful and eclectic space designed to help you escape everyday life. They curate a revolving collection of handmade goods, vintage décor, and curious oddities sourced from independent artists and small businesses worldwide.

Clara Nicole Jewelry: Handmade, dainty 14k-gold-filled jewelry meant for everyday wear, along with a boutique selection of clothing, accessories, and beauty products. Permanent jewelry will also be offered as a custom, clasp-free experience.

Gindo's Spice of Life: Bold, fresh flavors that make cooking more fun! From hot sauces to hot honey, spices to sea salts, Gindo’s mission is to inspire creativity in the kitchen while supporting local Midwest farms and businesses.

Miss Lindy's Bakery: Made-from-scratch treats that speak for themselves. Miss Lindy’s is known for their giant cookies and rotating lineup of baked goods that keep customers coming back for more.

Paper Love Collective: A stationery shop for anyone who still gets a little feral about new school supplies (you know who you are). They carry a curated mix of greeting cards, notebooks, notepads, stickers, pens, wrap, and other paper-adjacent treasures.

Relish: For people who cook and people who eat. Which means Relish is for everyone! They sell cooking and baking tools, serveware, and foods from American artisans and small makers, with a focus on local and Midwestern items.

Shop Roogs: Sells a colorful and whimsical collection of home decor items and women’s accessories, all handmade by artisans both locally and internationally, including tufted rugs made by the store owner. Their inventory is an exploration of fiber arts — tufting, weaving, embroidery, etc. — with the addition of leatherworks and other small-batch crafts.

The Soda Surf: A classic 1950s soda shop meets laid-back beach vibes. They’ll be serving up crave-worthy dirty sodas, snacks, and surf-inspired swag.

What One Woman Sees: Classic clothing with a city twist based in black and white, the newest denim trend, and the season’s hottest color. Find vintage and vintage-style Hollywood Regency/Florentine decor, original art prints, and sassy hostess gifts.
