Shorewood Business Guide: What's Open And Closed In Town

SHOREWOOD, 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 the Shorewood Patch last 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.

So far, nearly 20 local businesses have responded with information to share with residents.

You can find the local guide here.

Here are what just a few Shorewood businesses are doing:

• Hurricane Exterminators, 410 Shady Lane, says it remains open and wants customers to know that all employees are outfitted with PPE for everyone's safety.
• Premier Salon Suites, 305 Vertin Blvd., wants people to know that it remains closed for the time being.
• K's Food and Liquor/Collectibles, 714 Cottage St. (Route 59) remains open seven days a week. For curbside availability, customers are asked to call 815-744-5570.

We're going to keep this guide live throughout the impact of the coronavirus, to help our readers support the businesses that serve Shorewood. 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.
