MWAC Black Business Takeover

As part of our ongoing effort to showcase and support Black-owned businesses, the Maywood-Wheaton (IL) Alumni Chapter has launched our MWAC Black Business Takeover initiative. Every 1st Friday, the MWAC Nupes and their families will “take over” and support a Black-owned business within our service area.

Yesterday, the Nupes and their families enjoyed some sweet treats at Milkshake & Cookies, located at 16122 S IL-59 Unit 108 Plainfield, IL 60586

From delicious cookies to milkshakes and ice cream, the desserts were outstanding. Nupes and their families even had the opportunity to speak with owner, Paula, while enjoying the warm atmosphere and tasty treats. It was truly a great time enjoyed by all.

If you’re craving some amazing desserts, be sure to stop by Milkshake & Cookies and tell them that Maywood-Wheaton Alumni sent you!

Let’s continue to circulate our dollars and uplift businesses in our community.
