New Hotels and Restaurant at the
Midway Hotel Center
 
The MidwayHotelCenter continues to grow and foster economic rejuvenation near the ChicagoMidwayInternationalAirport, with the opening of two new hotels last fall.  The locally owned Weglarz Company LLC is pleased to announce the addition of the Holiday Inn Chicago Midway and the Residence Inn Chicago Midway in October 2008.  These new additions will grow the hotel campus that began with Hampton Inn in 1990; into a convenient, comfortable, meeting and lodging destination featuring over 1300 guest rooms in nine hotels, over 15,000 square feet of meeting space and four fabulous restaurants.  Coaches Bar and Grill located in The Holiday Inn Chicago Midway also opened last October.   
These openings further solidify the vision of Weglarz family patriarch Jack Weglarz, in creating an inviting, comfortable, high quality lodging and dining destination for all the neighborhood residents, businesses, and Chicago travelers within the MidwayAirport area. The hotel center is often referred to as a campus by associates who work there, as the hotels and restaurants compliment the needs of all their guests with the variety of accommodations available, making the MidwayHotelCenter one of the most unique hotel complexes out there.  The campus of hotels is also firmly rooted in its community, providing career opportunities to hundreds of area residents and upholding traditions of community that can be traced back to the Cracker Jack factory that occupied the site from the early to mid 1900s!
The Holiday Inn Chicago Midway features 146 guest rooms with urban contemporary furnishings and décor.  All of the rooms have plush bedding, flat panel LCD televisions, and free wireless internet access.   The indoor pool and exceptionally well crafted patio areas bring the campus setting indoors.  Guests can enjoy the spacious fitness center and business services offered, or if productivity and meetings are required, the Stratosphere ballroom is available for meetings and social events.   Coaches Bar and Grill will not only provide you with a meal to remember but a wide variety of sporting events broadcast all day every day on one of several individually controlled televisions.    Relax, it's Holiday Inn!  In June of last year, Holiday Inn unveiled its unprecedented brand reinvention that not only brings a new design to the logo and marquis, but a renewed service focus and confidence that has assured travelers of consistency for years.
The Residence Inn by Marriott® ChicagoMidwayAirport is the first up-scale extended stay hotel in the Midway area and is expected to welcome day travelers as well as those travelers requiring accommodations for stay up to and exceeding several weeks.  Unexpected pleasures, including our free Home Touch hot breakfast buffet and manager's reception are all compliments of Residence Inn by Marriott. For accommodations, there are a beautiful choice of spacious studio, 1 and 2 bedroom suites offering complimentary high-speed Internet access, a full kitchen, a living area for entertaining and sleeping areas with luxurious bedding. Exercise in the fitness center or jump in the pool.  The Residence Inn is designed to help travelers thrive on long stays.
"When you might be shopping for a new hotel, you are always welcome home at the MidwayHotelCenter" say Holiday Inn General Manager Craig Pearson.  Darrell Edens, General Manager of the Residence Inn adds: "What an exciting campus to be a part of!  We of course are very grateful for the local support of our business ~ past, present and future, and we are proud to be a new part of the South Chicago Community."
The Marriott Chicago Midway, Courtyard Chicago Midway, Fairfield Inn Chicago Midway, Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Midway, Hampton Inn Chicago Midway, Holiday Inn Express Chicago Midway, Sleep Inn Chicago Midway, Starbucks, Dempsey's, and TGI Friday's are managed by White Lodging of Merrillville, Ind., and owned by RLJ Corporation, located in Bethesda, Md.

Dear Valued Customer:
You may be hearing about national office products chains cutting staff and closing stores. That's certainly not happening here at COPCO!
We're poised to serve all your business needs, stronger than ever in 2009 and beyond. We're the source who offers:
· The largest catalog available! Our new 2009 edition has 26,000 items, and over 1600 pages brimming with the latest in office innovations and helpful facts that simplify your tasks.

· A strong, ongoing presence in the local area. We've been serving the business needs of
Chicago land customers for over 35 years, hiring people from the local economy and giving back in many ways!
