Chicago Heights Business Guide: What’s Open Or Closed In Town

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL — The coronavirus is having a profound impact on the global economy, and has been particularly damaging to local businesses that depend on foot-traffic and in-person interactions with their customers. Even so, many businesses have found ways to stay open and to offer delivery, pick-up and safe-distance transactions to serve the community.

We put a call out to local businesses on Chicago Heights Patch this week and asked them to update their status, give details on how you can continue to patronize them and to let the community know how they can best help during these challenging times.

You can find the local guide here.

Here are what just a few local businesses are doing:

• True Heights Treatment, 222 Vollmer Road Suite AA is offering online and video sessions that are covered by insurance.
• Clarkes Garden Center and Stone Depot, 2061 14th St. is open for delivery and curbside pickup only.
• Mr. Burritos #2, 686 W. Lincoln Highway has pickup, phone orders, order thru drive thru and delivery using Grub Hub, Door Dash or Uber Eats.
• Udo’s Car Wash, 196 S. Halsted is open with limited services.

We’re going to keep this guide live throughout the impact of the coronavirus, to help our readers support the businesses that serve Chicago Heights. Businesses can update their status in the guide at any time. To help support our local merchants and business owners, we encourage you to share this article or the link to the guide with neighbors, via email and social media. The businesses need our support.

Patch will be rolling out a number of new initiatives and resources to help local business owners in the coming days, so stay tuned and please stay safe.
