Lombard’s business community has something to celebrate: 18 members of the Lombard Area Chamber of Commerce earned recognition in West Suburban Living’s 2026 Best of the West reader awards.

In an October 6 announcement, the Chamber congratulated the honorees and highlighted Soapy Roads’ Makery Bar, which took the No. 1 spot for Best New Store.

The recognition gives residents a reason to revisit a favorite local business—or discover one they haven't tried yet.

The Chamber encouraged the community to support the winning businesses and shared a roundup of its member honorees.
