Showcasing The Retailers Who Make Illinois Work
Monday, Mar 2, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller [The following is a paid advertisement.] In Illinois’ Metro East region near St. Louis, Olive Oil Marketplace invites food lovers to taste the difference. Since 2012, owners Tim and Julie Meeks have created a warm, hands-on shopping experience where guests can sample more than 85 premium olive oils and balsamics from around the world. From garlic-infused favorites to pastas, spices, coffees and teas, Olive Oil Marketplace in Alton is where healthy cooking meets top quality. Retail provides one out of every five Illinois jobs, generates the second largest amount of tax revenue for the state, and is the largest source of revenue for local governments. But retail is also so much more, with retailers serving as the trusted contributors to life’s moments, big and small. We Are Retail and IRMA are dedicated to sharing the stories of retailers like Tim and Julie from Alton who serve their communities with dedication and pride.
