It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Chicago shopping districts. But between supply chain problems, inflation and the shadow of a pandemic, the outlook for small retail and food businesses continues to be uncertain this holiday season.
Pilsen Chamber of Commerce secretary Jackson Flores said the bumpy economic road of the last few years now culminating in across-the-board inflation has made it a tough environment for small businesses. Moreno says many businesses have had to quickly get up to speed on tech for payment and social media marketing.
“It is free to all Chicagoans. It is a weekly session or a boot camp where businesses or people who are interested in opening a business can come and learn all about how it is, what it means to start a business and what it means to maintain your business, and maybe even expand things like access to capital, things like marketing, things like site location,” Juarez explained.
“There are a lot of people that live in Little Village roughly, 76,000 people. It’s the most densely populated neighborhood in the city of Chicago but not everybody there speaks English,” Moreno said. “So it’s very important that we’re getting those resources out there, that we’re actually walking the community and reaching out to small businesses that maybe aren’t familiar with the resources that are available for them.
