About the VillaPark.co Business Spotlight
A Business Spotlight is editorial coverage of a business or owner with a Villa Park connection. The goal is to introduce readers to the people behind local businesses and share useful information about their history, services and involvement in the community.
There is no fee to be considered or featured. Submitting a business does not guarantee publication, and VillaPark.co determines which businesses and stories are appropriate for the series.
Who Can Be Featured?
A business does not have to be physically located within Villa Park, but it should have a meaningful connection to the community. That may include being located in Villa Park, serving Villa Park residents, being owned by a local resident, participating in community activities or otherwise having a notable connection to Villa Park.
