DIXON – For his August 2024 local business highlight, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) chose to highlight Oliver’s Corner Market in Dixon. Rep. Fritts spent time touring the business and presented the owners with a certificate of appreciation for their contributions to the community. 

“This month, I chose to honor Oliver’s Corner Market because of their continued support of our community and their dedication to providing a quality, neighborhood grocery store,” said Rep. Fritts. “From hosting Saturday cookout fundraisers to supporting the local Knights of Columbus, Oliver’s Corner Market works hard to help our community thrive.” 

Oliver’s Corner Market was founded by owners Tim and Patty Oliver in 1987. Nearly every weekend in the summer and fall, Oliver’s hosts cookouts assisting in the fundraising efforts of local organizations in their parking lot.

Rep. Fritts continued, “But the one thing I think deserves the most recognition is the fact that Oliver’s stepped up to help save the Rock River Valley Shamrock Club and their yearly Saint Patrick’s Day parade. We all thought the 2024 Saint Patrick’s Day parade would be our last, but they stepped up, fundraised in our community, and ensured the club and parade are back in business. That is exactly the kind of business that deserved to be highlighted and I am honored to bring them some much-needed appreciation.” 

Oliver’s Corner Market is located at 748 N. Brinton Avenue in Dixon. For more information, visit their website at OliversCornerMarket.com.
