Local Business Guide: What's Open And Closed In Skokie

SKOKIE, IL — The coronavirus pandemic has yielded unexpected and detrimental results to local economies in Illinois. Some businesses have had to cut staff, some have had to slash hours of operations and others have had to close their doors altogether due to Gov. J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order.

However, some local businesses are still offering delivery, pick-up, remote services and transactions at a distance to continue to serve Skokie residents.

Earlier this month, we put a call out on Skokie Patch to local businesses with a request to provide an update on their current status, offer details on how customers can continue to patronize them — and to let the community know how they can best help during these challenging times.

Find the "What's Open, What's Closed In Skokie" directory here.

Some of the dozens of local businesses who responded so far:

The Curragh Irish Pub, 8266 Lincoln Ave., is open daily from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for pick-up, curbside or delivery orders.

The DJ School of Skokie, 7827 Niles Center Road, is offering online lessons by appointment only.

Superdawg Drive-In, 6363 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

In an effort to help readers support businesses that serve the Skokie community, Patch will keep the directory online for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis. Businesses may update their status at any time. To help support our local merchants and business owners, share the article or a 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.
