PEORIA – When Jessi Linn Litterst heard four years ago that Moxie’s Resale was in danger of closing, she decided to buy the business.
“It was a total whim. I don’t think anybody could listen to their heart more. I was in love with the store and I wanted it to stay,” said Litterst. “So I asked a friend, an investor, if he wanted to help, and I wrote a business plan and he went for it.”
Litterst had mainly worked in food before she bought Moxie’s, but she was on her way to getting a degree in business and running a business was something she knew she could do.
PEORIA Just seven-and-a-half months after opening in the Warehouse District, Hello Poppy Boutique is moving to a strip mall in central Peoria.
With the grand opening happening Saturday at 4923 N. Sheridan Road, owner Justice Parker was bustling about on Wednesday morning.
“Our contractor is finishing literally in an hour, so we are spending all night tonight and then the next two days getting everything situated, she said. “I actually have my entire softball team coming and helping put up displays and cleaning today.”
Parker, 25, had never owned a store before opening Hello Poppy, though she knew quite a bit about being an entrepreneur from growing up in the family, which owns the 50 s Diner. Parker’s shop will now be much closer to the diner in the busy Peoria Metro Centre, a fact she hopes will help bring more foot traffic into the store.
PEORIA Warehouses no longer account for a significant part of the Peoria Warehouse District.
Residences, small businesses and restaurants and bars have begun to permeate the historic area located just southwest of Downtown Peoria. More developments are being planned.
But Warehouse District revitalization hardly has been an overnight process.
April represents the 14th anniversary of the city s recognition of the Warehouse District as a potential growth area.
In 2007, a tax-increment-financing plan the city commissioned noted the area had more than 300 buildings that might lend themselves to commercial, residential or mixed-use development.
More than 90% of those buildings were constructed before 1972. That was critical. To be designated as a conservation area, at least half its buildings must be at least 35 years old.
