COMMUNITY GUIDE & BUSINESS DIRECTORY

6/30/2015 1:44:44 PM

WELCOME On behalf of the Skokie Chamber of Commerce & Industry, its almost 700-member businesses and our Board of Directors, I am very pleased to introduce the 2015-2016 Skokie Community Guide and Business Directory. There is a lot to showcase and be proud of in our community. The Village of Skokie is strong and vibrant. We owe this to many factors including the stability of the business community and the vision of our village management and elected officials. The businesses in Skokie play a vital role in the economic health of our community. The Village of Skokie has a solid industrial, manufacturing and technology presence, along with a retail mix which draws people into the community from throughout the metropolitan area. This strong business presence contributes to the tax base of the Village, keeping residential taxes low for our 68,000 residents. The Skokie Chamber of Commerce & Industry has been an active advocate for businesses on the North Shore for over 90 years. The Skokie Chamber of Commerce & Industry is proud to be

contributing to the success and vitality of the Village of Skokie. We hope that you find value in this publication and that you look toward our member businesses when you are looking for a product or service. Should you have any questions or comments regarding the Skokie Community Guide or any other member benefits or services, please feel free to contact the Chamber office at (847) 673-0240 or email us at info@skokiechamber.org.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

New and exciting developments can be found throughout the Skokie community. From Touhy Avenue, to Downtown Skokie, Dempster Street and at the Westfield Old Orchard Mall, change is in the air. Business growth is up, vacancies down and excitement contagious, says Tom Thompson, Skokie Economic Development coordinator, and a number of areas throughout the community that are experiencing redevelopment, revitalization and resurgence. In Skokie 2014 marked a record year for new businesses applying for occupancy permits, and 2015 is pacing to be another record-breaking year! DOWNTOWN SKOKIE

Residents and visitors are invited to rediscover and enjoy all that Downtown Skokie offers this year following the June 2014 completion of extensive infrastructure and streetscape improvements. The Village invested over $9 million of local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds on infrastructure improvements, street paving, new street lighting, sidewalks with paver accents, improved parking, street furniture, enhanced landscaping, signage and more. Throughout the pedestrian-friendly downtown area visitors will find an eclectic mix of colorful street furniture including bright red Downtown Skokie benches, teal “S” bike racks and yellow accents on bus shelters. There are currently a total of 19 restaurants in and around Downtown Skokie, thanks in part to the Village’s special incentive program to help attract new restaurants to the area. The unique, upscale Floral Street housing development is expected to bring new families to the Downtown community as new singlefamily residences are added just blocks from the entertainment, dining and retail Downtown hub. SKOKIE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

ILSKOCW15 book.indd 12

A number of new businesses have opened in Downtown Skokie in the past several years, including Alexander’s Breakfast & Lunch, Edward Jones financial advisor Glen Roter, Kabul House Restaurant, NIU Armenian Grill, Aw Yeah Comics, Aw Yeah Games and Bughouse Studios. These new star attractions join the many established businesses in the downtown shopping district including Crafty Beaver, the Village Inn Pizzeria Sports Bar & Grill, Cigar King and Skokie Ace Hardware. The Skokie Theatre celebrated a grand reopening under the ownership of MadKap Productions last year. With a goal of bringing quality professional entertainment to downtown Skokie, MadKap is led by partners Wayne Mell and Wendy Kaplan. Downtown Skokie will come alive this summer as residents and visitors gather for popular seasonal events such as Wednesday on the Green, Skokie Farmers Market, Skokie Backlot Bash and the new Friday Night Car-Tunes. For more information on these events, turn to page 28 or visit www.downtownskokie.org. DEMPSTER STREET

Also known as Illinois Route 58, Dempster Street bisects the Village at 8800 North. It is a major thoroughfare carrying commuters from the lakefront to the east, past the O’Hare corridor in the far western suburbs. The Illinois Department of Transportation estimates an average of 35,000 vehicles travel through Skokie on Dempster Street on a daily basis. There is a great diversity of economic activity on Dempster Street including financial institutions, restaurants, office complexes, religious institutions and independently owned retail specialty shops. The Pita Inn is an exciting new use that was just completed on the site of the long-vacant former Barnum & Bagel restaurant on Dempster Street. Owners of the restaurant chain have acquired the property to expand their restaurant and carry-out operations. There was a highly celebrated grand opening in June 2015. The new 13,125-square-foot Walgreens Drug Store at the southeast corner of Dempster Street and Crawford Avenue recently marked its successful second year of operations. This state-of-the-art flagship store is a prototype model experimenting with an all-new store design

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT and new customer service experience. Watch for a new “58 Reasons Why Dempster Street is My Route” campaign to begin this fall, featuring colorful new banners along sections of the street and vibrant Route 58 signs in the windows of Dempster Street businesses. The LEEDS Gold Certified First Bank and Trust Facility, Kensington Florals and Events, the Grecian Kitchen Delight Restaurant and the historic Evanston Golf Club are a few examples of why Dempster Street in Skokie is a centerpiece of activity, helping to establish the Village of Skokie as a major economic destination on the North Shore. Please visit our “58 Reasons” page at the Village of Skokie website, www.skokie.org, and the Village’s Shop Local Skokie Facebook page for timely information and merchant spotlights, which will begin later this year. Be part of the “58 Reasons Why Dempster Street is My Route” campaign by sending your reasons to info@skokie.org. ILLINOIS SCIENCE + TECHNOLOGY PARK

The Illinois Science + Technology Park, a 23.4-acre campus directly adjacent to the new CTA Yellow Line Oakton Station in Downtown Skokie, continues to grow. Forest City Enterprises has repurposed the former corporate headquarters of pharmaceutical giant G.D. Searle in Skokie into a home for a community of scientists, researchers, inventors and innovators. The facility boasts convenient access to Northwestern University and the Midwest’s technology and life science business environment. The park serves a wide range of companies ranging from incubator startups, early commercialization

companies, European and Asian branches, and large corporations. The 23-acre master plan calls for up to 2 million square feet of space providing room for a business to expand without impact to research or staff.

Visitors and residents enjoy a multitude of entertainment and recreational opportunities available throughout the year. THEATER

Skokie prides itself on its dedication to arts and culture, says Michael Pauken, general manager of the world-renowned North Shore Center for the Performing Arts (NSCPAS), home to the award-winning Northlight Theatre, Centre East and the Skokie Valley Symphony Orchestra. The two-theater complex designed by architect Graham Gund opened in 1996. “Skokie’s diverse and eclectic entertainment venues appeal to all types of audiences and draw patrons from throughout the Chicagoland area, thanks in part to its prime North Shore location bordering Chicago and immediately adjacent to the Edens Expressway,” Pauken says. “We’re thrilled to be a part of such a vibrant community with such diverse tastes.” NSCPAS hosts 175,000 annually for hundreds of events including

entertainers Chris Isaacs, the Irish Rovers, Pink Floyd, Bob Newhardt, Queen Latifah, Bill Maher, the Joffrey Ballet, River North and Hubbard Street dance companies and a variety of local cultural and civics performances and events including college and high school plays, graduation ceremonies, dance academy recitals and lectures. Among one of Skokie’s favorite entertainment venues is the landmark Skokie Theatre that is under the ownership of MadKap Productions. MadKap is led by partners Wendy Kaplan and Wayne Mell. They both have a wide breadth of experience bringing dynamic and quality entertainment to the northern suburbs over the past decade. The program schedule for the Skokie Theatre features a variety of exciting and eclectic productions, including intimate musical performances, theater, comedy, movie presentations, children’s theater and more. Be sure to visit www.skokietheatre.org to check out some of the exciting offerings that they are bringing to our community. MUSUEMS

The Skokie Holocaust Museum & Education Center, a 65,000-square-foot building designed by renowned Chicago architect Stanley Tigerman, also draws visitors from near and far and offers exhibits and educational programs. The museum’s permanent exhibition tells the story of the Jews and other minority groups who were persecuted in the Holocaust, with over 500 extraordinary artifacts, documents and photographs. SCULPTURE

Another popular attraction drawing visitors outside is the NorthShore Sculpture Park, a magnificent open-air art exhibit of more than 70 sculptures situated along landscaped pathways adjacent to the north channel of the Chicago River. SKOKIE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

Why did two Jewish funeral businesses in Skokie close in the last year? Perhaps it is in part that we left! Mitzvah Memorial Funerals

Ian "Izzy" Dick

Seymour Mandel

Lloyd Mandel

Bill Goodman

Mitzvah Memorial Funeral has the most experienced staff of Jewish funeral directors in Chicago with over 200 years of combined experience. We have all previously worked at either one, or both of these businesses that recently closed. The Mandel family has been in the funeral business for 4 generations! Mitzvah Memorial Funerals also provides the lowest price! In most cases we save families $2000-$5000 versus what Chicago Jewish funeral homes with chapels charge for the same or similar services and casket. We do this because we don't have the overhead that multi-million dollar funeral homes with chapels have. As Jewish families often have graveside services, or service from their Synagogue, using a funeral home with chapels isn't necessary. For families that want an indoor service, but that are not members of a Synagogue, there are several available to non-affiliated families and several Jewish cemeteries that have chapels that we can use. You can view how our price compares to all of our competitors by going to www.comparemitzvah.com If your Synagogue has a discounted funeral plan that we are not currently a provider of you can still choose us. We guarantee to be at least 25% less!* If you have already made pre-arrangements elsewhere you can easily switch to us. In most cases we will refund your family thousands of dollars. We also offer pre-arrangements and fund through Homesteaders Life. *Guarantee is on base price of funeral plan including services, casket and miscellaneous items. Not included in this are the cemetery charges, vault and cash advance items.
