This past year, the Village of Arlington Heights created a small business marketing program entitled: Re-Tales: The Story Behind the Store. This program showcased several different retail stores throughout the Village, highlighting what makes them unique and what one-of-a-kind gifts they provide shoppers, in order to help promote them during the holiday season.

Re-Tales is being brought back this year to help promote our merchants during the spring and summer. We invite local retailers who were not showcased in last year’s campaign to submit the form below so that we can tell our residents and visitors what about makes your store so special, and why shopping locally is so important.

Stories will be shared on the Village's Discover Arlington Facebook page, as well as on DiscoverArlington.com. Content from completed Re-Tales forms will be posted on these channels at staff’s earliest availability.

Qualifying Criteria for Participation

For this particular series, you must meet the following criteria including:

• Must be a brick-and-mortar storefront.
