Andersonville Hosts EXPLORE AND RESTORE: A Health, Wellness and Service Open House

The Andersonville Chamber of Commerce (ACC) is pleased to kick-off the new year with its inaugural Explore and Restore: A Health, Wellness and Service Open House, a neighborhood-wide open house focused on wellness in all its forms. The new event will take place on Saturday, January 24, 2026 from 10 am – 2 pm as part of ACC’s annual Swedish-inspired Säg Hej Health & Wellness celebration. From physical and mental health to home design, financial planning, downsizing and self-care, connect with local businesses, ask questions and explore new ways to care for yourself and your space in 2026.

Highlighting Explore and Restore is the grand opening of one Andersonville’s newest businesses, Heritage Home Supply & Little Greene Paint and Paper at 5117 N. Clark St. Join the Chamber for a 1 pm ribbon-cutting along with drinks and bites.

Owner Benjamin Bloom comments, “Opening Heritage Home Supply in Andersonville feels like coming home. This is a neighborhood where independent businesses, creativity and care for craftsmanship already coexist in a really organic way. We work exclusively with heritage brands and family-run makers who have been refining their craft for generations, from Swedish inventors to British paint mills. Our hope is that this space adds to Andersonville’s growing reputation as a place where thoughtful design and local character naturally meet.”

What is Säg Hej?

Säg Hej (pronounced “sag hey”), at its heart, is about building connections – whether it's greeting a neighbor, exploring new wellness practices or learning from the expertise of others. The name, which means "Say Hello" in Swedish, reflects the spirit of openness and community that makes Andersonville unique.
