Goods and Services
A home rule community, Elmhurst is blessed with a prosperous retail sector, with merchants and professionals offering a wide range of goods, and personal and business services. Retail sales generate more than $400 million annually.
Most businesses are located in one of the city’s shopping areas, highlighting by City Centre. Kohl’s, Sears Essentials and Dominick’s anchor the Elmhurst Crossing shopping center at Route 83 and St. Charles Road. Neighborhood business districts along Spring Road and York & Vallette are as charming and attractive as ever.
A variety of automobile dealerships, located in north Elmhurst along York, Grand Avenue and Lake Street, sell new and used domestic and foreign vehicles—generating sales tax revenue (one-third of every dollar) from a regional base of customers.
Elmhurst’s major employers include Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare, Elmhurst College and the city itself.
The diversity of Elmhurst’s commercial and industrial sector provides a broad tax base that benefits both city financing and property owners as well.
