Oak Park is home to more than 1,000 businesses owned by neighbors and friends who care about their customers and are invested in the well-being of the community. Shopping at an Oak Park business during the holiday season helps strengthen the local economy and reduces the community’s carbon footprint by reducing travel distances. Retail sales benefit not only local retailers, but the entire Village since 2% of every retail sale comes back to municipal coffers to fund vital public services. For many retailers, the holiday season is the most important time of the year.
