Shop local this weekend without ever leaving your car - or having to wrap the gifts when you get home, either.
The Joliet Area Historical Museum gift store is offering a special in-person shopping day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday.
Here how it works. Pull up to the museum's circle drive at 204 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet, call 312-978-1282, and then museum representatives will shop for you while you remain in your car. Payment will be by credit card.
This may worth something:

It even completely redesigned the home screen to emphasize shopping and Reels.
Meanwhile, TikTok is partnering with Shopify to launch new shopping features, including a test that would let Shopify users tag stores in their videos with a "shop now" button. Reels only widely launched in August and is already being used for shopping, which speaks to just how important commerce is to the company and how badly it wants to beat TikTok to the punch.
