New Arts & Crafts Store Opens in Crystal Lake, Fills Final Vacant Space Downtown

CRYSTAL LAKE, IL -- The city of Crystal Lake currently has zero vacancies in its downtown -- an impressive feat for a historic downtown -- after filling its last vacant spot earlier this month with the addition of Fabric, Fiber and Finds, city officials and Downtown Crystal Lake/Main Street officials told the Northwest Herald.

“This is a huge accomplishment, especially for a historic downtown like this,” Diana Kenney told the Northwest Herald. “And I really think it has a lot to do with the teamwork and cooperation that downtown Crystal Lake, the city of Crystal Lake and the merchants have in making this a great community.”

Fabric, Fiber and Finds, an arts and craft store, opened on July 7 at 37 N. Williams Street in Crystal Lake.

Another recent business to open, Retro Bistro, has been doing well since moving into a space at 83 N. William Street.

But when it comes to the longest-running business in downtown Crystal Lake, that honor goes to Heisler’s Bootery, which has been selling boots since 1908, according to the Northwest Herald.
