Entrepreneurs Seek to Bring Co-Working Space to Glen Ellyn
Common in urban areas, co-working spaces allow professionals without dedicated offices spaces a place to connect with clients or work in a more convenient space than a coffee shop.
Craig Yerly knows coffee and business. As the owner of the Next Stop Coffee Shop he sees commuters grab a cup of coffee as they pass through the Metra train depot daily. Yet, when he heads over to Starbucks in downtown Glen Ellyn, he sees all the workers who don’t commute, but who need a place to connect to the Internet and connect with clients. Yerly and business partner Patt Karubus both thought there was a need for a co-working space for professionals who don’t have a dedicated office in the Glen Ellyn and Wheaton area. Co-working allows professionals to have a working space away from a job site. To gauge interest in the co-working concept, Yerly and Karubas are holding three meetings to discuss the co-working option with professionals …

Glen Ellyn Business Postgame Grows Organically With Chemical-Free Products
Ryan Schiff founded Postgame in 2009 after he couldn't find a shampoo he was comfortable with his sons using.
A few years ago, when Glen Ellyn resident Ryan Schiff was shopping for shampoo for his boys, who at the time were in sports and going off to camp, he was surprised at the lack of products for kids who were no longer babies and who weren’t adults either. Along with the lack of choices, many of the products had ingredients that concerned Schiff. “My oldest was going to camp and we were arguing over shampoo," he said. "There was nothing between Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and things with dinosaurs and Axe. One thing led to another and I had this idea kicking around in my head.” The idea was for Postgame, a company, which offers shampoo, body wash and a three-in-one shampoo, conditioner and body wash. He talked with his children and their friends …
