Rogers Park Launches 2025 'Live Love Shop' Holiday Program with Increased Rebates for Local Shopping

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Rogers Park ·

Rogers Park residents will soon have extra incentive to support local businesses this holiday season as the Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) launches its annual 'Live Love Shop' program starting November 1, 2025. This year's initiative offers residents a $50 rebate when they collect

50 or more in receipts from at least four independently-owned Rogers Park businesses, or an increased $75 rebate when they spend $200 or more.

The program has seen growing popularity, with the 2024 campaign reporting 880 transactions across 202 independently-owned businesses and 187 participating residents—marking a significant increase from previous years. Participating is straightforward: residents must collect receipts from qualifying businesses between November 1 and December 31, with simple guidelines including a minimum purchase of $20 per store and a limit of five receipts per qualifying business. To ensure diverse support across the neighborhood, purchases from liquor stores, grocery stores, and dispensaries are capped at $30 each.

Interested residents can access program details and application forms online or pick up physical forms at the RPBA office at 1448 W. Morse Avenue starting in November. Rebates will be distributed via Zelle or check, with the latter available for pickup from February 27 to March 6, 2026. For more information, residents can call the RPBA at 773-508-5885.
