Shop Small Business in Oak Park

“When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust

The places where we shop, where we eat, and where we have fun, are all a integral part of our community. Really a part of our home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses contribute to the distinctive character of Oak Park.

Oak Park is a unique historical attraction for domestic and international travelers. However, historical sites alone are not enough to keep visitors engaged in the community. The shopping experience of local shops and boutiques is essential in making Oak Park attractive to, not only visitors, but to local residents. Keeping a vibrant, diverse selection of shops is a long-term investment for the community itself. 

A strong economic impact is necessary to ensuring innovation and reinvestment in our way of life. Local non-profit organizations receive more economic support from small business owners than they do from large businesses.

Shopping local will allow you to support businesses that have a vested interest in keeping Oak Park thriving.
