H-F Local Business Guide: What’s Open Or Closed In Town

HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR, 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 Homewood-Flossmoor 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:

• Homewood Dental Studio, 1924 Hickory Road is available for dental emergencies and virtual consults only.
• Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery, 1035 Sterling Ave. is open for carryout, curbside pickup and delivery within a 5-mile radius.
• Dairy Queen, 1700 Ridge Road has the logs and back-seating area closed.
• Wiley's Grill, 800 Kedzie Ave. is closed until further notice.

We’re going to keep this guide live throughout the impact of the coronavirus, to help our readers support the businesses that serve Homewood and Flossmoor. 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.
