LaGrange

LaGrange? Why would anyone make the trek to shop here? Why would you miss it?

You’ll discover over 300 shops within a two-mile radius, making tiny LaGrange a first-class shopping destination. Quality merchandise and friendly small-town service are bound to win your heart and pocketbook.  
   
Getting here and spending the day are both easy to do. Commuter-considerate LaGrange is only 25 minutes from downtown Chicago on the Metra BNSF line, and near Interstates 90, 55, and 294. Drivers will find parking plentiful.

   

Time for a stroll. The majority of the trendiest stores are located in the downtown business district. Newer fashion-forward boutiques like Licorice and Utopia offer some of the cutest, hippest designer threads at extremely reasonable prices. Brands like Three Dot, Sanctuary and Free People are price-friendlier here than at their big-city counterparts.

Hortons Home Furnishings, which has been serving LaGrange for over 100 years, carries everything in the way of lighting, home furnishings, accessories, even hardware. And you'll find the store bursting at the seams with creative decorations during the holidays.

Take a shopping break. Long-standing fixtures that help make for a memorable day include the Blueberry Hill Breakfast Café, the LaGrange Theater's $2 movie tickets, and the convivial Palmer Place Restaurant beer garden, where you can join the locals over a few of more than 225 beers from around the world.  

And when it's time to top off a great day of shopping, head for some delicious Tuscany fare at Marconi’s Ristorante.

LaGrange? Shopping here should no longer be a question of why, but when.
