Today I joined the Soukal family at the grand opening for the Soukal Garden center located at the heart of Archer Avenue and the Garfield Ridge community. For nearly 110 years, Soukal Florist has seen countless Mother's Days, Valentine's Day's, and been a part of endless special occasions. We wish them success as they open their garden center.

Thank you, to the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Southwest Development Corporation, for joining me on a visit to locally owned businesses along the 63rd Street Corridor in the West Lawn neighborhood.
We discussed valuable resources for local mom-and-pop shops. For every $100 spent locally, about $68 stays in the community, thanks to wages, local purchases, and taxes. Chain stores only bring in about $43. Shopping locally to support businesses boosts neighborhoods so check out these small businesses in the 23rdWard.
