What is Berwyn Boutique?
Berwyn Boutique is a shared storefront designed to help new businesses expand their product lines, increase brand awareness, and strengthen their community partnerships. Located at 7003 Cermak Road in Berwyn, IL, this homegrown project is the ideal space for entrepreneurs to grow before opening their own storefronts.
Beyond supporting entrepreneurs, this homegrown project offers a unique shopping experience to residents and visitors alike. With 100+ handcrafted products in one location, there is something for everyone – apparel, accessories, home goods, and more!
Heart of Cermak Plaza
Berwyn Boutique can be found in the bustling Cermak Plaza, located at the intersection of Harlem Ave and Cermak Rd in Berwyn, IL. As an end store, Boutique is highly visible and accessible to vehicle and foot traffic.
Surrounded by plenty of parking and adjacent to well-known brands, this homegrown project is a prime destination for all browsing, gift ideas, and other retail needs!
More than a Storefront
Berwyn Boutique encourages its vendors to build off the momentum of the Berwyn Shops, or a similar incubator, to grow their businesses in the local market before operating their own stores. Specifically, vendors are given a space, access to business education, and ongoing marketing support.
As with all homegrown projects, Boutique also aims to be a welcoming community space – hosting workshops, inviting special guests, and facilitating networking opportunities.
Learn, Grow, & Take
Open every Tuesday-Sunday, Boutique gives the vendors ample opportunity to interact with customers face-to-face. This dynamic helps the vendors understand the local demand for products, build relationships with new shoppers, and create events for all to enjoy.
As a transitional space, this homegrown project invites entrepreneurs to test out ideas, take the lessons learned, and then apply them to their own stores and future endeavors.
