Give Local Businesses YOUR Business This Holiday Season

Tired of empty storefronts? The Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce reminds everyone to shop local this holiday season.

You’ve survived another Black Friday, but there are some other businesses that would love to see your feet in their stores and restaurants -- your small, family, independently owned, local businesses.

The Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce reminds everyone to “shop local” this holiday season. To that end, the chamber has created a holiday shopping guide promoting Oak Lawn's locally owned businesses. 

A copy of the “Oak Lawn Holiday Shopping Guide” is available for downloading on Patch. If you need a tuxedo rental for a fancy holiday party, a little black dress, flowers, hostess gifts, Irish imports, a baking class, an automobile, catering, an accordion or a place where your out-of-town guests can stay, Oak Lawn’s shop local guide is full of discount coupons and other goodies.

When you purchase gifts, meals and services locally, it helps our communities thrive. Please consider your locally owned businesses in the Oak Lawn-area when considering your holiday purchases.
