West Rogers Park residents are gearing up to 'Shop small, support local!' this weekend as the neighborhood celebrates Small Business Saturday on November 29. Local establishments like R Public House are inviting community members to show their neighborhood businesses some love during this important shopping weekend.

The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, which serves as a Shop Small Saturday Ambassador, is helping coordinate participation among the neighborhood's diverse array of independent retailers and restaurants. With over 400 businesses calling Rogers Park home, shoppers will have plenty of options to explore. This year's celebration builds on the community's strong business foundation highlighted in the Chamber's 2025 Community Guide, which was distributed door-to-door to 13,000 Rogers Park homes and features extensive listings of local businesses and non-profit organizations. The event comes at a perfect time for residents looking to begin their holiday shopping while investing directly in their community.

Residents who participate in Small Business Saturday can also take advantage of the ongoing 'Live Love Shop Rogers Park' rebate program, which rewards shoppers who collect receipts from neighborhood businesses. This weekend presents an ideal opportunity for West Rogers Park community members to discover new favorite shops, support longtime neighborhood staples, and help strengthen the local economy heading into the holiday season.
