Winnetka Business "Oui, Madame!" Needs Your Support

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

"Oui, Madame!" is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

We are a specialty gift, jewelry and fashion accessory store. We have been in this location for 10 years serving Winnetka and the surrounding communities as well as Chicago and some Western Suburbs.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

We have had to close and furlough all of our most valued help. It has been heartbreaking.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

Return in a giant wave in order to keep us afloat, pay back rent, etc.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

Stay strong. We are all in this together. The desire to stay quarantined may be weakening but we are doing the right thing.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

Free delivery in the Northern Suburbs and Chicago and 20 percent off on most merchandise, including new arrivals and curbside service if requested.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

Yes, the big three restaurants in East Elm, Little Ricky's, Cafe Aroma and Stacked & Folded, all of which are extremely community oriented.
