Signs Of Hope: Libertyville Businesses Get Creative, Adapt

LIBERTYVILLE, IL — Downtown Libertyville is feeling much different than it did at the start of the year. But a sense of community, and the creative ways businesses are adapting to closures amid concerns over the spread of the new coronavirus, are obvious.

At Conscious Cup Roasters, drive up and walk up service is being offered. You can pre-order and pay that way, and pay stations have been placed right at the entrance— more than six feet away from baristas and employees.

Conscious Cup Roasters has more information online.

Other businesses are offering curbside pick up and even switching up what they sell to meet new demands.

Edie's Boutique, which has stores in Libertyville, Park Ridge, Geneva, Glen Ellyn and Naperville, has started selling fashionable, protective face masks. The masks come in many different patterns and are being sold for $25 in packs of three for adults and for kids.

The masks can be ordered online and are available for curbside pick up. The clothing store, which has a location at 514 North Milwaukee in Libertyville, is also offering free shipping through May 31.

Throughout downtown Libertyville, temporarily shuttered businesses have been decorating their windows, and putting up signs that share messages of hope to passers by.
