Small Business Spotlight 🍪
I got to try Verdict Goods and WOW. Probé el Triple Chocolate Mocha, la galleta ganadora del Blue Ribbon en el State Fair of Texas; y el Chunky Peanut Butter, y ambos fueron so good.
Su first cookie drop será en Octubre 2026 🤎 Estén pendientes de @verdictgoods para saber cuándo abren órdenes, pickup dentro de Chicago y todos los detalles.

Trying out a home business based out of Wheaton for this stop of my small business car series where I drive around Chicagoland and try my followers small businesses. Sonya of @hotshotfoods is a private chef who can do it ALL!!!! She frequents farmers and French markets to sell her sourdough and focaccia bread, along with her treats. I’ve been raving about her goodies since trying them and even placed my own order as soon as I ran out. Her ingredients are FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and full of FIBER!!!!! Iykyk 😂. The sweetest soul with hands of gold. Place an order or hire her for your private chef needs by messaging her or checking out her website: hotshotfoods.com

SENSORY SCIENCE, BEBE🙌🧠👩🏽🔬✨

What’s been your FAVORITE Calm Strips texture so far?
We’re truly honored and excited to be able to bring different sensory tools to so many communities out there🧠✌️✨!! We can’t wait to share even more as our small business grows🪴🙌✨
Chicago really showed me love last week. From Evanston to Evergreen Park, the small business community was loud, supportive, and ready to pour. The narrative about this city is tired—the PEOPLE are the real story.
Small businesses supporting small businesses? That’s the future.
