Entrepreneurship in Wilmette is like a garden, it grows where the community takes care of it. The town’s businesses are interwoven with innovation and collaboration that have produced successful stories beyond inspiration.
One of those stories revolves around Geminate Board Games. The board game café has become a community center for families, casual visitors, and fans of board games alike. It was a risk founded by Maria and Tom Blanchard who valued face-to-face interaction through games. But now it has transformed into much more than just a café, at this point becoming an integral part of social life in Wilmette where people come together over game nights or tournaments hosted by them among other family-friendly events they organize throughout the year.
What makes Geminate Board Games so special is not its business model alone nor even the wide range selection from traditional chess sets up to latest strategy and role playing titles available there – it’s all about how much effort did owners put to stay connected with local community while thinking global on different occasions; they never missed any opportunity if only it could help them reach out wider audience or benefit some other organization/business around thus strengthening their relationship within shared space called economy.
Green Thumbs Nursery located at another end of town shares similar success story but bets on green practices instead. Sarah Jensen turned her family owned nursery into fully organic one which seemed risky move for many back then however this move resonated with environment friendly residents deeply concerned about sustainability. Today, not only being an ordinary plant shop anymore also serves as educational resource centre concerning organic gardening where workshops are held regularly alongside consultations aimed towards assisting people nurture gardens in line natural conditions.

Wilmette Chamber of Commerce ensures the success achieved by such enterprises and others alike through provision various services including but not limited to marketing strategies, networking opportunities among many more. They believe every business should be seen as part game which requires cooperation between players since no one person can win alone without affecting others negatively.
