new business on 95th St.
We have a new small business getting started on 95th St. A Peace of Pizza is opening this week at 95th and Wood, opposite the 95th St. Metra station. Their start was delayed by the unfortunate timing of having a major construction project right outside their door when they were ready to open.
There was a positive piece in the Sun-Times recently about the mission of this new business. A non-profit violence prevention group wants to use it to help teens gain job skills, those specific to working in a restaurant and working in a professional environment. A portion of restaurant revenue will fund programs aimed at combating food insecurity, housing issues and violence in Englewood.
Their grand opening is this Wednesday 7/31. Let's show them some love and help support this excellent organization.
