The South Loop is a vibrant neighborhood and as it continues to grow, it becomes increasingly more important
for residents to support local small businesses. The benefits of shopping local are documented through a number of
studies.
South Loop Neighbors especially urges residents to shop at local businesses that have partnered with the South Loop
Neighbors as Community Builders. Community Builders are businesses that are members of the SLN and who
recognize that a partnerships between SLN and local businesses creates an optimal environment for our neighborhood
to maintain and increase the vibrancy of the South Loop!
