Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week in HP

March 8 - 18,  2024


Restaurant Week is a fantastic opportunity to promote your restaurant and celebrate local restaurants in your community!

If you are a Hanover Park restaurant, you can still participate in Hanover Park's very first annual Restaurant Week. It's easy to participate - just decide what type of special(s) you would offer - you can have one special or a different special each day. Then, send us a completed a participation form with your information and specials, and that's it! We will give you a poster to display in your window and one for inside your restaurant.

Currently, 16 restaurants are already participating and their specials are listed on the Village website here.

Restaurant Week in Hanover Park is intended to help our restaurants increase their revenues and gain new customers by encouraging the community to support their favorites, try something new, and above all, get a taste of Hanover Park, the Global Village!

Contact Kathy Sjodin at ksjodin@hpil.org or by phone at (630) 823-5780 if you have any questions, or if you would like the form emailed to you.
