While service is at the core of the retail business, giving back to the greater community has always been an extension of our business approach. Through our website, we offer each customer the opportunity to donate a portion of their purchase to a charity (at no cost to them!) In our stores, we participate in the local Chamber of Commerce in each of the communities where we operate. We also empower and support each individual store to get involved in community events. This is particularly notable on the annual “Glik's Give Back Tuesday” when each store designates a local charity to donate a portion of that day's sales.
Through the generosity of Joe Glik’s philanthropic vision, Glik’s is the benefactor of two community parks: one in Edwardsville, Illinois and one in Highland, Illinois. As a company, we support Lift For Life Academy, The Little Bit Foundation, the Jewish Federation of Southern Illinois, and United Way.
We were honored by Sophisticated Living St. Louis Magazine, who covered the success of our business strategy as well as our company's history, and our core value of treating employees and customers like family.
