Groupon Brings Community Promotion to Pilsen
Groupon is bringing its “Discover Downtown” to the city’s West Side with ¡Bienvenidos a Pilsen!, a community-wide Groupon promotion designed to spotlight the culture and small businesses of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. It’s being conducted in partnership with the Eighteenth Street Development Corporation, which serves as the area’s local chamber of commerce.
“Our purpose as a company is to build strong communities through thriving small businesses, especially in Chicago and the neighborhoods that we call home,” said Groupon’s Matthew Kruse. “Whether it’s using the power of our platform to help foster greater economic growth for local merchants, or recruiting Groupon employees to participate in community volunteer projects, we believe that it’s important to leverage our size and scale for good.”
Pilsen is the sixth neighborhood to participate in Groupon’s “Discover Downtown” series. To date, it has resulted in driving nearly 30,000 people into more than 100 local businesses across the city.
