Showcasing the Retailers Who Make Illinois Work
Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] At Clara B’s Kitchen Table in Belleville, owner Jodie Ferguson serves up scratch-made Southern comfort food with a side of genuine hospitality. From homemade breads and smoked meats to handcrafted cocktails, the menu reflects Jodie’s passion for quality, community, and bringing people together. Inspired by her grandmother’s legacy, Clara B’s is a place where everyone feels welcome at the table. As Jodie says, “Eat good, be good.” 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.
