Village Encourages Patronizing Local Businesses: 'Shop Where Your Heart Is'

Press release from the Village of Glen Ellyn:

Posted on: July 9, 2020

With the start of Phase 3 of Governor Pritzker’s Restore Illinois Plan, in-store retail shopping was once again permitted in Glen Ellyn with proper social distancing measures and protocols in place. Shopping local and supporting the many boutiques and small businesses throughout Glen Ellyn gives the economy tools to thrive.

Research shows that for every $100 you spend in a local small business, $68 stays in the community. Buying locally supports local jobs, funds more local services through sales tax and invests in neighborhood improvement and development. Shop Where Your Heart Is and support the many merchants who help preserve our Village.
