State Representative Jackie Haas honored C&L Fine Goods Boutique in Kankakee on March 25 as her March Local Business Spotlight. Haas visited the boutique and presented a certificate of appreciation to the owner for her dedication to the community.
The recognition highlights local businesses that contribute positively to their communities. According to Haas, “For this month’s Local Business Spotlight, I am honored to recognize C&L Fine Goods Boutique in Kankakee. C&L Boutique primarily sells curated pieces and some unique resale items. In order to achieve their mission, that everyone deserves to have access to clothes that make them feel confident, they keep items reasonably priced, often offering $1 or $5 sales and clothing giveaways.”
C&L Fine Goods Boutique was opened nearly ten years ago by Leondra Williams and her husband, who both grew up in Kankakee. They chose downtown Kankakee for its diverse customer base and connection to their roots in the community.
Haas said she appreciates the couple’s ongoing support for local residents through charitable efforts and by providing a welcoming space downtown. “I want to commend Leondra and her husband for their continued support for our community. From giving back to those in need when able, to providing our community with a welcoming and comfortable space, they have added incredible value to downtown Kankakee!”
Haas is a Republican who was elected in 2020 to represent Illinois’ 79th House District after replacing previous state representative Lindsay Parkhurst according to public records.
C&L Fine Goods Boutique is located at 155 S. Schuyler Avenue in Kankakee.
