Tariffs Impact Everyone
Monday, Aug 4, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The increased costs associated with tariffs impact all of us, affecting millions of people. This includes backyard entertainment such as patio sets, swimming pools, spas, and barbeque grills, because retailers of all kinds across Illinois import many of the goods they sell. Tariffs have created more uncertainty for retailers than many have ever experienced. The Illinois Retail Merchants Association has found that while retailers are trying to hold-off on price increases, it’s impossible to absorb the extra expenses for numerous business owners who function on very small margins – which forces consumers to pay more. Retailers like Bob Jones of American Sale with locations throughout Chicagoland enrich our economy and strengthen our communities, even during the uncertainty of increased tariff expenses. IRMA is showcasing some of the many retailers who continue to make Illinois work.
