CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Groupon (www.groupon.com), which has pumped more than $17 billion into local communities, today announced the launch of Discover the Best of Beverly (www.gr.pn/beverly)––a community-wide Groupon promotion designed to celebrate the small businesses of Beverly Hills/Morgan Park. In partnership with the Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association (www.mpbhba.org), Discover the Best of Beverly features some of the historic and diverse neighborhood’s top local merchants––ranging from mouth-watering eats to ways to look and feel your best this fall. Beverly is the fifth neighborhood to participate in Groupon’s “Discover Downtown” series that helps entice Chicagoans to explore their city.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Groupon to bring greater awareness and recognition to local businesses in our community and encourage more Chicagoans to come check us out,” said Caroline Connors, executive director, Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association. “In addition, the support this campaign provides to our area’s local arts initiatives will contribute to the long-term vibrancy of the neighborhood and help attract permanent economic development.”
