To our Valued Customers:

On Friday afternoon, Governor Pritzker held a press conference and issued a state wide rule that Illinoisans must shelter in place commencing at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2020.  That being said, businesses that fall under the category of essential businesses will be allowed to remain open. Strada falls under the category of an “essential business”.  Strada will remain open and do our best to service you, our valued customers, to our fullest potential.  We understand there may be changes in schedules, and we all will be flexible and do whatever is necessary to get through the next couple of weeks. 

Following, I have provided for you the definition of “essential businesses” that can remain open.  Please note the area that is bold and italicized which is the business type of service that Strada falls under.  Please do not hesitate to contact me or any key Strada team member with any questions you may have.  Please let us know how we can assist you during this critical time.

Thank you for your cooperation and business as we get through another phase of this trying time.

Founder and President
