LETTER FROM OUR BOARD PRESIDENT

Welcome to the latest edition of the Berwyn Magazine!

As we kick off 2023, I am happy to share that the BDC has once again committed to implementing innovative resources in Berwyn. In fact, we are re-launching the Business Internship for Small Businesses, as well as the Berwyn Shops. These programs help entrepreneurs enhance their online presence and test out the market, respectively.

Outside of programming, the BDC also aims to connect our Berwyn community to available resources and educational opportunities. For example, we have started promoting our newest marketing campaign, #HireBerwyn, in hopes of connecting our small businesses with on-the-job training opportunities and available human resources.

Furthermore, the BDC will be collaborating with consultants to create a new economic development plan for the City of Berwyn in 2023. Funded by a $75,000 grant, this plan will allow us to better understand the current strengths and opportunities of the community, given the drastic market changes that the world experienced during the last few years.

Overall, I am so proud of the accomplishments we made and the partnerships we built in 2022. I look forward to continued dialogue and collaboration with our beloved Berwyn community in 2023!

Warmest Regards,

BDC 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Historic Mother Road Turning 100 Years Old

In early 2022, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity awarded the BDC with a $334,900 grant to celebrate 100 years of the Mother Road. With part of these funds, a giant muffler man and mini car spindle were unveiled at the Route 66 Car Show.

Since the car show, the remaining dollars have been used to install electric vehicle charging stations at Paisans Pizzeria and Bar and Zeigler Pre-Owned Of Chicago, as well as place a wayfinding sign at Buddy Bear Car Wash to guide and educate visitors on all the places to visit along Ogden Ave.

In 2023, the BDC will be seeking additional funding opportunities to further support our beloved Route 66. Our goal is to rehabilitate historical art pieces, enhance road signage, and promote tourism along the corridor. Stay tuned for more details and exciting announcements!

EDUCATION GROWTH SUPPORT EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to 2023!

Located on Roosevelt Rd, the Berwyn Shops is a retail incubator designed to provide entrepreneurs with the support they need to succeed: a storefront, education, promotion, and resources. After only 6 months of on-site construction, the inaugural season launched with 12 women-owned small businesses, offering everything from baked goods and home décor to artisanal accessories and beauty products.

From the day they opened in June to the moment they closed in December, the 12 business owners poured their all into their mini storefronts. They were on site every weekend for almost 7 months, and spent countless hours making products, attending monthly trainings, and crafting marketing materials.

Their passion for their businesses paid off. Throughout the season, the vendors broke sales records, sold out events, secured new contracts, expanded their followings, and even represented the Shops on TV! Specifically, the Berwyn Shops were featured across 15 news outlets, on 2 podcasts, and at two state conferences. They are inspiring city officials and entrepreneurs alike across the entire country!

Given the success of the program, the Berwyn Shops will be returning for a 2nd season – with a few changes!

We are excited to share that the Shops will be re-opening in mid-2023 with 12 NEW small business owners, selected by a new jury committee of 13 community volunteers. We are also looking forward to re-designed Shops interiors, an enhanced artist corner, and a heated indoor bathroom!

Thank you again to all who have supported this homegrown project! We hope you continue to follow the journey of the Shops and look forward to the 2nd season of this homegrown project in mid-2023!

Thank you to our 2022 Vendors!

To our 2022 Berwyn Shops vendors: THANK YOU! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you, your products, and your small businesses. We are incredibly PROUD of you and all the hard work you have put into the first season of the Berwyn Shops. You have demonstrated excellence, patience, creativity, and passion. CONGRATS on graduating from this homegrown project! We cannot wait to see what you do next!
