Image360 Mokena Donates 'Open' Signs To Businesses

Image 360 Mokena Owner Jon Osborne is offering free banners to food service businesses who are open during the coronavirus pandemic.

MOKENA, IL — If you live in the Mokena area, you may have spotted some new signs on or outside of open restaurants. Image360 Mokena usually makes signs, graphics or other marketing materials to help businesses market their brand. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Image360 Mokena has shifted its focus to helping other businesses during these difficult times.

Owner Jon Osborne is offering free banners to food service businesses who are trying to keep operations going. Many restaurants are still offering delivery or pick-up services, so Image360 is giving away banners that say, "open for take-out" and "open for delivery and take-out" to help inform the community of the business' current operations.

"I just wanted to do something positive," Osborne told Patch, adding that he's delivered about 50 signs to local businesses. The idea came about from some other franchises who started donating banners to help out.
