Description

In 1919, a group of Oak Park women decided to open the Economy Shop to raise funds for five local charitable organizations. Today Economy Shop is a unique and indelible part of the community and continues to be an important resource for local charities.

OPRF Museum and Economy Shop will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Economy Shop with a new exhibit "Economy Shop at 100: Donations Through the Decades, Shopping Through the Century," and a special opening reception on Saturday, March 2 from 3 to 5 p.m., including a fashion show. Volunteers will model some of the amazing fashions that have been recently donated to Economy Shop.

The show is a preview of a special exhibit spotlighting Economy Shop’s history that will run through May 2019 at OPRF Museum.
