Discover Rogers Park is the eighth Chicago neighborhood to
participate in Groupon’s Discover Downtown series that helps shine
a spotlight on various areas of the city in order to raise
awareness and drive small business commerce. Since the first
Discover Downtown campaign launched in 2015, the campaigns have
resulted in driving more than 30,000 people into more than 130
local businesses.
“While we’re a bit biased since our headquarters is based in
Chicago, our city has one of the largest and best collections of
small businesses anywhere in the world,” said Groupon’s Head of
Social Responsibility Matthew Kruse. “Every time we run one of
these Discover Downtown campaigns it’s incredibly exciting for us
to see people from all over Chicagoland visit businesses and
explore neighborhoods they’ve never experienced before.”
In conjunction with the Discover Rogers Park collection, Groupon
issued a $5,000 grant to the Rogers Park Business Alliance to
support its upcoming Taste of Clark Street event on Sept. 22, 2019.
Taste of Clark Street showcases Rogers Park’s diverse dining scene,
with local restaurants sampling their signature dishes as well as
live music and family activities throughout the afternoon.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Groupon to continue to
strengthen business and build community in Rogers Park,” said Sandi
Price, executive director, Rogers Park Business Alliance. “This is
a thriving and diverse community of businesses and residents. We’re
excited to show what we have to offer Groupon’s millions of local
subscribers. Their support for our upcoming Taste of Clark Street
will go a long way towards making this another successful event
that brings all of us closer together.”
