Local Love: How Intention and Purpose Built a Beloved City Favorite

In this heartwarming episode, we dive into the inspiring journey of Mr. Clarence Weaver, an Evanston stalwart whose vision transformed a community. Amidst the global pandemic, a beacon of hope emerged on the streets of Evanston, IL. Clarence, alongside Wendy, turned a period of worldwide despair into an opportunity for connection and sustenance, bringing to life the C&W Market and Ice Cream Parlor.

Evanston, a city nestled in Cook County and caressed by the waves of Lake Michigan, stands 13 miles from the bustling heart of Chicago. It's a melting pot of 75,544 souls, each contributing to the tapestry of the 14th most populous city in Illinois. With a median household income of $87,340, the city thrives, yet remains touched by the 4.2% of families living in the shadow of poverty.

As we explore the city's median age of 37, we find a vibrant community where youthfulness and wisdom blend seamlessly. It's here, in this diverse and dynamic city, that Clarence and Wendy have dedicated themselves to nurturing the growth of C&W’s Market. They offer more than just treats and groceries; they provide a gathering place that embodies the spirit of Evanston.

Join us as we celebrate the story of C&W's Market and Ice Cream Parlor, a symbol of resilience and the power of community-focused entrepreneurship. Listen to the voices of Evanstonians who have found more than a marketplace, but a home, within the walls of Clarence and Wendy's labor of love.
