The past five years have been tough on the downtown Glen Ellyn economy. Many longstanding businesses have closed or left the downtown area. Now, despite a tough economy, businesses are slowly returning. Two new businesses are set to open this fall and the hope is that more are still to come.
In recognition of Fire Safety Week, the Glen Ellyn Fire Department will play host to a fire safety open house at the downtown fire station. The station is located at the corner of Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The open house will take place from 10AM – 1PM on Saturday, October 8th.
On Friday, April 29th, the businesses of downtown Glen Ellyn will be hosting a Ladies Night Out. Come out and shop-til-you-drop between the hours of 6PM and 9PM. Twenty downtown businesses will remain open late for this special event. This is the perfect time to pick up a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift! Tickets…
