2023 BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
By Megann Horstead, Daily Chronicle - Shaw Local News Network
DeKALB – 2024 is shaping up to be a big year for El Jimador Mexican Grill in DeKalb.
The establishment, 260 E. Lincoln Highway, was named the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce’s 2023 Business of the Year. To a budding business fewer than 5 years old birthed in the middle of a global pandemic, that’s an even larger fete, coowner Ryan Gifford said.
“That’s a testament to the team,” Gifford said. “We’re just lucky. There’s no way we win that award if we don’t have the team we have. It’s absolutely impossible – not by a long shot.”
But the authentic Mexican restaurant’s success didn’t surface overnight. The building, formerly home to O’Leary’s Irish Pub & Grill, took a lot of work to get ready.
It all started in 2020 when four friends – Gifford, Rudy Hernandez, Olivia Pacheco and Christopher Cardenas – clambered together with a shared vision in mind of starting their own restaurant. As a group, they came to realize after weighing their options that they wanted to set up shop in
downtown DeKalb.
Gifford and his partners had spent the prior year planning more seriously as storefront options became available. Gifford said that even four years later, he and his partners can’t believe how everything fell into place for their restaurant.
”We had a building we really loved and we had kind of a fresh set of ideas and a different vibe than what is normal in our space in DeKalb,” Gifford said. “[It’s] a little bit more of a Friday night vibe.”
El Jimador opened its doors for business in 2020, right as the COVID-19 pandemic touched down in the U.S.
As the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to deal a permanent blow to the restaurant and hospitality industry, El Jimador pivoted in ways that some businesses were unable to mimic.
Gifford said the experience of going through a once-and-a-lifetime pandemic may have strengthened their business for the better.
”We had to stop and halt for six to seven months, which allowed us to actually to do a more massive renovation
project on our building and that did allow us to become who we are now. … It probably kept us more patient by force. We had to be a little bit more patient because we were not going open as soon the pandemic started, although we were right on schedule.”
The business also was awarded $124,000 from the DeKalb City Council in April 2020 to help aid remodel efforts, part of the city’s tax increment financing program meant to bolster downtown development.
Gifford said he and his partners, all of whom live or have lived in DeKalb, continue to work well with one another after all these years, which is what what makes the restaurant function.
”We are a family,” Gifford said. “We’re still a family. We’re tighter now than we were before we started the restaurant. We’ve had very few little times that we’ve disagreed. But for the most part, we’ve been on the same page. It helps that we hired an insanely good staff because I’ve come to find you’re only as good as your team from top to bottom.”
El Jimador strives to separate itself from the competition.
”We have two rather unique tacos on our menu that really are popular,” he said. “Tacos El Jimador, which is going to be your carne asada. Basically, your steak and your chorizo with poblano cheese and poblano pepper. That’s super popular. Then, if you go the flip side from that to the sea, if you will, the tacos El Gobernador, which is our shrimp and scallop tacos. They’re not tacos you see on every place’s menu.”
Beyond food, the restaurant owners have made a name for themselves, dabbling in multiple downtown DeKalb events, meant to encourage more folks to come enjoy a good meal, shop local or celebrate diverse cultures.
El Jimador participated in a Cinco de Mayo celebration, part of downtown DeKalb’s relaunch of seasonal event First Fridays in May 2023. An inaugural Day of the Dead “Celebration of Life” saw a community ofrenda displayed at the restaurant, meant to serve as a public altar to honor dearly departed loved ones.
Gifford said for him, the success of El Jimador comes back to centering the business on serving authentic Mexican food and hospitality. Each co-owner brings something to the table. “Within our ownership group, myself personally I’m definitely one who can help on the real estate development side of our business and it does not interfere with the basics that are important, which is the restaurant. My partners have that lockstep.”

Established in 2018 with only a handful of members, Gather Women's Group has grown to more than 100 members from various businesses and organizations. What initially started as casual networking opportunities has evolved into a dynamic group that connects women both personally and professionally. From speaker luncheons to yoga at local orchards, Gather curates engaging events and opportunities.
For the last 20 years, the DeKalb Leadership Academy has expanded personal and business networks and developed community leadership through education, training, and project completion. The DeKalb Leadership Academy has more than 400 alumni that have graduated from the program.
Throughout the past century, and particularly in recent decades, the DeKalb Chamber has been a committed host of business-to-business events, dedicated to making connections and recognizing businesses. Notably, the annual ATHENA Award, Golf Outing, and Local Showcase have stood as enduring events for more than thirty years.
An important portion of the DeKalb Chamber’s history involves hosting and coordinating community events to encourage engagement with local businesses. Events like the DeKalb Farmers’ Market, Spooktacular, and Visits with Santa have become seasonal, community staples.
In 1851, DeKalb had a population of just 29 individuals, but it was the Chicago and Northwestern Railway in 1853 that sparked the first surge in population. Since then, the community has thrived with the establishment of new agriculture, industries, educational institutions, transportation networks, financial entities, and retail establishments. Historically dubbed a “Modern Mid-West Community,” DeKalb maintains this distinction as it continues to evolve with the influx of new industries, residences, and entertainment options just outside the “hustle and bustle” of Chicagoland.

In 1924, a visionary group of community leaders came together to establish the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce with a singular goal in mind: to foster economic growth and prosperity in the Greater DeKalb Region. Over the past century, the chamber has become a pillar of support, guidance, and collaboration for businesses and organizations, marking its 100th anniversary as a testament to its enduring commitment to the community.
For a century, the DeKalb Chamber has served its members and the community by coordinating a spectrum of events from ribbon cuttings to business-tobusiness engagements and community functions. Beyond these activities, the chamber has evolved into a central hub for businesses and community resources, playing a crucial role during pivotal moments such as the economic recession of 2008 and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In times of uncertainty, the chamber has consistently demonstrated its strength and commitment as a vital support system for both businesses and the broader community.
The DeKalb Chamber office has had multiple office locations, many of them located within the Downtown DeKalb corridors including 127 E. Lincoln Highway, 164 E. Lincoln Highway, and its current location 130 W. Lincoln Highway.
A twist of fate occurred upon the chamber’s move to its current location at 130 W. Lincoln Highway on the second floor of Old National Bank in 2019. Shortly after the move, historical documents surfaced revealing that this very address had been sought-after as a Chamber office decades prior, marking the irony of history repeating itself.

The success of the DeKalb Chamber is credited to the dynamic leadership that has steered its course over the years. With over eighty board chairs and several executive directors since its beginning, the chamber’s legacy is a testament to the vision of its leadership.
In recent history, amidst the transitions, the chamber has benefited from the dedicated leadership of its current Executive Director, Matt Duffy, who has been an integral part of the organization for fifteen years. In 2024, the Chamber’s staff of five is led by a Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
As the DeKalb area has grown over the decades, so has the DeKalb Chamber. In 2022, the chamber was named Outstanding Chamber of the Year by the Illinois Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (IACCE), a testament to its dedication and innovation. The chamber also reached a new milestone in 2023, surpassing 600 members, the highest membership count in history.
Celebrating local success on multiple fronts, the chamber has honored 31 Business of the Year recipients, granted 6 Nonprofit Organization Awards, and inducted 50 individuals into the Hall of Fame. The ATHENA Award, recognizing professional and philanthropic women in the area, has been a staple for 34 years along with 75 Women of Accomplishment recognized.

Over the years, Downtown DeKalb has undergone dynamic evolutions, showcasing a blend of cultural, visual, and structural enhancements that have revitalized and reshaped the community to how it is today and set a strong foundation for its future. These changes were initiated by the Main Street Program in 1999, a downtown merchant association which aimed to improve Downtown DeKalb through community engagement and streetscape beautification.
Started in 1995, the “Main Street DeKalb Farmers’ Market” featured weekly drawings and children’s entertainment, including a variety of performers, storytellers, singers, and even a petting zoo in downtown alleys. Today, hosted by the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, it features live music in collaboration with the Egyptian Theatre and celebrates National Farmers’ Market Week with raffles and activities. Now situated at Van Buer Plaza, it reflects a dynamic approach to community engagement. This year the DeKalb Farmers’ Market celebrates 29 years of providing our community with local, fresh, and healthy produce.
The DeKalb Community mural, a collaboration between the NIU Art Museum and Main Street DeKalb Program in 1999, depicts the community’s past, present, and future, and helped transform Downtown DeKalb into a cultural center. Currently, new murals like the DeKalb City Hall Mural by Danielle Casali, with the theme of Belonging, recognize our community’s evolving culture and contribute to the visual narrative of it. Both murals have become symbols of Downtown DeKalb’s growth and success.

In the late 1990s, the Main Street Program aimed to revitalize Downtown DeKalb which was facing challenges with 72 storefronts but a perception of being a “ghost town.” Today, the downtown area has developed its welcoming ambiance with festive lights during the holiday season, repaved roads, and storefront renovations. New businesses, including El Jimador Mexican Grill, Willrett Flower Company, and La Calle Bar and Music Venue, have brought vibrancy and diversity to the area.
The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Clock was first placed on Lincoln Highway in 1920 to honor WWI Veterans. The clock underwent several renovations, being green and even white throughout its time, and relocations in Downtown DeKalb before standing at its current location in Memorial Plaza.
From Barb Wire to Wireless
Almost since its start, DeKalb has been a well-known industrial hub due to its thriving labor market, dependable public services, outstanding living conditions, and its location in the center of the country providing perfect shipping access. Its manufacturing center began with Joseph Glidden’s Barb Fence Company and continues its legacy today, housing over 70 manufacturers and distributors including Ferrara Candy Company and Target Distribution Center.
In 1873 Joseph Glidden, Jacob Haish, and Isaac Ellwood developed barbed wire and began the commercial production of barbed wire fencing a year later. This innovation kicked off DeKalb’s prosperous manufacturing ecosystem and transformed our city into an ideal manufacturing center. Besides Barb Fence Company, other early manufacturers in DeKalb included Nehring Electrical Works, copper wire and cable manufacturer, Creamery Package Manufacturing Company, commercial refrigerating machinery manufacturer, and Melville Park Piano Company.
In the late 1900s, multinational conglomerate company, 3M was influenced by other manufacturers and distributors in DeKalb to expand to our city. Currently, 3M’s DeKalb operations have become its largest distribution facility in the world.

In recent years, DeKalb’s small-town hospitality paired with its big city amenities have attracted several major companies across various industries. These include manufacturers, distributors, and data and innovation centers such as, Syngenta Seeds Development R&D Innovation Center and Meta Data Center in 2020. Kraft Heinz also recently announced its expansion into DeKalb with a 775,000-square-foot distribution facility coming in 2025. This project will bring in over 150 jobs to the region.

The RighT Decision
If you are considering a senior living arrangement for your future, you are probably asking yourself, “Where and what is best for me (us)?”
We had lived and worked in the DeKalb community for fifty-six years. Fifty of those years were in one house, in a wonderful neighborhood with great neighbors. However, the time came when we knew that we needed to consider the next phase of our lives.
We are individuals who like to plan and think ahead. Since several of our friends had already moved to Oak Crest, visiting its campus was a logical part of our process. Thus, we made an appointment to meet with the staff and tour the facility. Everything from the living accommodations, many amenities, social events, and the guarantee of future long-term care made the idea of moving to Oak Crest very appealing. We were thrilled when we were presented with the opportunity to make an Oak Crest duplex our new home. We love all that Oak Crest offers from the provided maintenance-free services, to our neighbors, and the peace of mind of future security.
Now, we tell everyone who is contemplating a move and are concerned that they will miss their previous home, that moving to Oak Crest was the best thing that we have done for ourselves and our children.

As we commemorate 100 years of shared success in DeKalb, we honor the enduring presence of more than 30 local houses of worship. The oldest of these is the First Baptist Church, established in 1844. For generations, these churches have been a resource for community, services, and religious education.
Through outreach programs, food pantries, childcare facilities, and various social services, they serve the needs of our neighbors, embodying the values of compassion and solidarity. Together, they continue to build a stronger, more inclusive community for generations to come, united in their commitment to the collective well-being of our community.
