We're off on a new adventure! We moved our Main location yesterday to Elk Grove Village, IL. Hard to believe it was 5 years at our little shop in Evanston. There were so many dreams and memories made at 1106 Davis, and Evanston was a great community to work in. We're looking forward to making many more dreams come true and forming new memories in Elk Grove Village!
Thank You Evanston!
We want to say "Thank You Evanston” for being a wonderful community to be a part of.
From the beginning our primary focus at Avail & Company has been to serve brides and customers with excellence through beautiful custom wedding dresses. The value of service is literally built into the DNA of our company, the very name of Avail, means, “to be of service”.
Five years ago, a giant leap of faith was taken by opening a design studio in Downtown Evanston, IL., to bring Rachel's creative genius to the world.
We are excited to announce that we are embarking on the next chapter of this journey. It is a bittersweet time transitioning from our current location in Downtown Evanston to a new destination and exciting adventure. This phase is an incredible opportunity for Rachel and Ted personally as well as professionally.
Through the years we have been heavily involved in the entrepreneurial community, growing as entrepreneurs, business partners and most importantly a married couple. Ted is a recent graduate of Silicon Valley’s Founder Institute Program, Chicago Chapter and we have been intensely making plans for the next step to growth. Through this process over the past two years, we have been invited to join Enclave for Entrepreneurs at O'hare. The ENCLAVE is an international hub for entrepreneurs to learn, earn and grow. Born from the collective vision of founders John R Dallas Jr and Daven Morrison III, M.D. The ENCLAVE is an illuminator, not an incubator or an accelerator. Here light shines on the development of the entrepreneurs, with related focus on their ventures. It's a new concept, unlike any seen before, and we are beyond thrilled to be joining this community as we step out into our next chapter of growth.
On September 1st, 2017, we will be moving our business operations to The ENCLAVE at O’Hare located at 75 Turner Avenue, Ste 100, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007. We will continue to serve our brides and customers with the highest quality and excellent work as we always have. In the coming months, more announcements and updates will be forthcoming as our business evolves and grows.
Evanston has been a wonderfully supportive community for the past five years and we have taken great pleasure in serving the community and getting to know our customers here. We will be continuing to meet with customers by maintaining a local presence by appointment, through Creative Coworking on Davis St.. It is bittersweet as a business owner, to be leaving such an amazing caring community of small business owners, local government leaders and residents. We will still be living in the area, and Evanston will continue to be a place where we call home. We are confident that we will continue seeing familiar faces around town, and want to thank the Evanston community for being an amazing place to start a business and gain the necessary experience to grow.
