New Businesses in 2025

Hanover Parks Welcomed Many New Businesses this Year!


Looking back at 2025, we’re excited to share that Hanover Park welcomed 27 new businesses—including 12 new restaurants that add even more flavor and variety to our community. These new establishments reflect the continued strength and diversity of America’s Global Village.

Our small businesses are vital to our community. As we head into the new year, we encourage everyone to keep supporting them by shopping and dining local. Every purchase—big or small—helps our community stay strong.

Business of the Year Nominees

Congratulations to the 2025 Hanover Park Business of the Year Nominees

Winner will be announced in early 2026

Our local businesses are the heartbeat of the community – providing goods and services, jobs, and revenue for the community.  Many of our businesses also help support local charities, schools, and sports teams.

We encouraged all our residents and businesses to nominate a Hanover Park business for the 2025 Business of the Year Award as a way to honor their contribution to the community. Businesses are required to be in Hanover Park and in operation for at least one year.

Businesses will be judged in several categories including community involvement, customer service, and positive image and appearance. Members of the Economic Development Committee will evaluate nominations to determine a winner.  Once chosen, the winner will receive an award at the 2025 Village Awards Presentation dinner, be featured on the Village’s Facebook pages, included in the next Business Matters newsletter and the March /April edition of the Hi-Lighter newsletter.

The winner will be announced at the Annual Village Awards Presentation dinner in early 2026!

Thank you for being a valued business to our community and for choosing Hanover Park
