Storefront Stories: Growth in Downtown Aurora

Join us on August 20th from 5:30 – 7:00 PM for a FREE special downtown experience hosted by the Aurora Downtown Project Economic Vitality Committee!

This engaging walking event will highlight three downtown Aurora businesses, Urban Unwind, Olive Street Mercantile, and The Garden Exchange, where we’ll step inside their spaces and hear directly from the business owners. They’ll share their journeys of business development, renovation and remodeling projects, challenges they’ve overcome, and how their dreams became reality right here in downtown Aurora.

This is a wonderful opportunity to:

Hear real stories of entrepreneurship
Celebrate growth and revitalization
Connect with fellow business and community members
We’ll wrap up the evening at The Olive Grille, where attendees are invited to stay for dinner and continue the conversation (dinner optional).

Whether you're a current business owner, aspiring entrepreneur, property owner, or simply someone who loves downtown Aurora — this event is for you!

More details on other featured businesses coming soon. Mark your calendar and plan to join us for an inspiring evening celebrating growth in Downtown Aurora!
