✨ A Historic Evening in Bridgeport ✨

On 8/20/2025, the Greater Bridgeport & South Loop Chamber of Commerce hosted one of our Business Networking Events at Schulze & Burch Biscuit Co.  For the first time in more than 100 years, this iconic manufacturing plant opened its doors to the broader community, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at their operations.

Kevin Boyle, President, and his outstanding team welcomed more than 80 Bridgeport and South Loop business owners and residents for an evening of cocktails, food, and a fascinating tour. Their hospitality was unmatched and made the night a true success. A special thanks as well to Alderwoman Nicole Lee’s office for their support and to Base Community Café for the delicious catering.

We’re proud to create opportunities like these for our members and look forward to many more evenings that highlight the strength, creativity, and collaboration of our community.
