Voted “Best Downtown Atmosphere” and with more than 200 locally-owned businesses, Downtown Wheaton is proud to be the best of the western suburbs. Located 28 miles west of Chicago, the walkable Downtown district features more than 50 restaurants; abundant boutique retail; lively arts, music, and culture; and 50+ annual events — all wrapped up in welcoming, small town charm you can’t get from a big box store or online retailer.

In 2023, the City of Wheaton cut the ribbon on its $35 million investment into pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, distinct gathering spaces, vibrant landscaping, a new pavilion structure to house the famous Wheaton French Market, and more. You’re invited to visit Downtown Wheaton and experience the best of the west.

LIL & ANTHONY DIJOHN WILDFLOWER MERCANTILE AND JACOBS & NEWMARK

“Wheaton is where we are building our businesses, raising our three children, and planting the roots of our family life. That makes our work especially meaningful. We are not just serving customers or clients — we are serving neighbors, friends, and the community our children are growing up in. It is a privilege to contribute to the trust, connection, and vitality that make Wheaton feel like home.”

ADAM PRATT CHAOS TO MEMORIES

NICOLE CORBIN BABY DOLL BAKERY

“There will always be factory-made goods available from big box stores and online, but having access to locally made, small batch food baked with love (and no weird stuff!) is a blessing. Everything isn’t going to look like the plastic perfection of a television cooking show, but it will taste incredible and will bring you back to your grandma’s kitchen.”

BRETT JOSEPH WHEATON MEAT COMPANY

“Today, I’m honored to carry on my father’s legacy with a team that feels more like family than employees — many of them are my closest friends, including my childhood best friend. Over the years, I’ve also made it a point to grow close to the Wheaton community. Being a butcher here has made this town feel smaller in the best way possible — like home.”

BUSINESSES

THE LITTLE POPCORN STORE 105 YEARS IN 2026

As tiny as it may be, there is no missing this red-doored classic in the heart of Downtown Wheaton. The Little Popcorn Store has been a cherished landmark since 1921, operating out of a converted alleyway a few doors down from its permanent location, in 1935 — an upgrade that took the shop from 3.5-feet wide to a whopping 4-feet wide. Quirkily little but mighty in presence, the famous shop still serves the same simple popcorn recipe, as well as a rainbow assortment of sweets.

Wheaton, IL, was settled in 1831 by pioneers Erastus Gary and the Wheaton brothers before being formally incorporated as a village in 1859. Downtown Wheaton is home to some of the oldest businesses in Wheaton, which are still thriving today:

HOLSTEIN’S GARAGE 120 YEARS IN 2026

Holstein’s Garage is one of the oldest family-owned businesses in Downtown Wheaton and serves as the oldest repair shop in Wheaton. Operating since 1906, the family first came to Wheaton in 1892. From wagons, buggies, stage coaches and steam engines, Holstein’s Garage has been a community pillar, even housing cars in the 1920s, before houses commonly had garages of their own.

CARLSON’S GLASS & MIRROR 111 YEARS IN 2026

The Carlson family is operating a fourth-generation business in Downtown Wheaton! Originally opening in 1915 as Carlson Paint, Glass, and Art Stores Inc., the Carlson Co. has seen several storefronts, but maintained the same dedicated character our community loves. From frames, mirrors, glass, and more, there’s no better way to do things than the classic approach.

Adams Park

Supporting local is as simple as choosing a local shop over big box stores or online shopping. A purchase from a local business goes beyond a dollar amount: Supporting local is lifechanging and community-sustaining.

Meet some of the business owners who make Downtown Wheaton a destination worth visiting.
