Warrenville Mercantile officially launched November 1, 2025 at Leone Schmidt Heritage Park (28W164 Warrenville Road).
The Mercantile features custom-built shop spaces for rotating local vendors, bringing fresh shopping, food, and family fun to downtown Warrenville.
Soft Launch Weekends - We thank the following vendors for being part of our first two events:
Saturday, October 25 · 1:00–4:00 p.m.
- Dandelion Atelier – bath care
- Briarwood Beads – beaded suncatchers
- DM Design – handmade character pens
- Tala’s Trinkets – crochet items
- Boy Scouts of America – popcorn and wreaths
Saturday, November 1 · 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
- Chalkcouture/Majorcreations – home décor and gifts
- London Skye – hat & charm bar
- Bada Bling Crystals and Crystal Candles – crystals and crystal jewelry
- The Craft Shack – hot chocolate bombs
- Emma’s Extensions – hair tinsel and glitter services
- Clay Space Artists – ceramics
- Quickfire – fire starters
The soft launch featured temporary market tents will be set up along a cement patio area, and two vendor units on the property. Eventually, there will be eight vendor sheds on the site.
Warrenville Mercantile is designed to give vendors more than a place to sell goods. Plans include mentorship opportunities and partnerships with local financial institutions to help entrepreneurs learn how to be a successful retailer and eventually move their way from the market to a more permanent space,
The project is supported by a $25,000 grant from DuPage County’s Member Initiative Program, which will reimburse the City for start-up costs.

Future ideas for the site include a pavilion for dining and a flex pavilion that could host classes, small concerts, community activities, or even morning yoga. And stay tuned for details on the 2026 season!
