Patch Picks: 5 Innovative Geneva Businesses

It's no secret that Geneva is a great place to conduct business. Here are five businesses worth knowing about.

1. Fresh D'lite Grill refuses to use processed food products in their menu. "Our main goal is to bring back the “Joy of Eating” without worrying," the owners said. Their menu is filled with freshly grilled paninis, pizzas, burritos, tacos, wraps, noodle and rice bowls and salads. Healthy eating is the cornerstone to the Fresh D'lite business philosophy, and everything is prepared with the freshest ingredients possible. 

2. has more to offer than just their namesake. Fresh spices and gourmet blends are what keep their loyal customers coming back time and again. Foodies and gourmet cooks have come to rely on their high-quality products; from specialty oils and vinegars to spice rubs and fusion salts. Their flagship store in Galena recently became a sibling to Galena Garlic Company's newest location in downtown Geneva. 

3. Providing our pets with the finest food options is what Pet Pals Market is all about. "Our goal is to ensure optimum health to keep you and your pets together for many years to come," says their online mission statement. Keeping pets happy with non-processed food options and the highest-quality treats and supplements is what they have aimed to do since opening their location in downtown Geneva. They also offer all natural grooming products and have a friendly staff to assist customers with all their pet needs.
