Midwest industry customer Glik’s has been named the Illinois Family Business of the Year and will be honored in a ceremony in November in Chicago.
Glik’s, started in 1897, is a great multi-generational family business story. The company has grown to 61 stores in nine states, and the family members I know are some of the hardest working people I have ever met.
I have spent a lot of time with brothers Jeff Glik, the CEO who is also in charge of women’s, and Jim Glik, vice president and head of men’s, and it is inspiring to see how dedicated and excited they still are by the business. They are the fourth generation of Glik family members to work in the company.
For the Illinois Family Business Awards, Glik’s is being honored in the large business category. The gala will be held Nov. 21.
