Business Retention and Expansion Visit Program

Features Jimmy John's

We're excited to share that our Business Retention and Expansion Visits program is in full swing, and we're proud to feature Jimmy John's Sugar Grove as our latest stop.


Owned by Vanessa Wiskerchen and Dan Leuer, Jimmy John's has been serving our community since 2011 and employs a team of 23 people. They offer various options, including dine-in, drive-through, delivery, and catering.


Vanessa and Dan, who also run locations in Rochelle and Sycamore, decided to open the Sugar Grove location to bring their business closer to home. Today, it’s a popular spot for locals, students, staff, and travelers on Route 47.


In addition to their delicious sandwiches, Vanessa is a Broker at RE/MAX All Pro in Sugar Grove. She is involved in many local organizations like Kiwanis of Sugar Grove and the Kaneland Foundation. She believes in community involvement and often participates in fundraising events to support local schools. Vanessa also donates gift cards to teachers and volunteers her time as a Village Enhancement Committee member.


We want to thank Jimmy John's Sugar Grove and all our local businesses for contributing to our community.


Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support and showcase our local businesses!

The Village of Sugar Grove has officially taken second place in the prestigious "Best of the Best" Tap Water Taste Test at the American Water Works Association (AWWA) ACE26 conference in Washington, D.C. The national runner-up finish establishes Sugar Grove as home to some of the highest quality, best-tasting drinking water in North America. The top spot went to the City of Fredericton, New Brunswick, while third place was awarded to Vineyard, Utah “We are incredibly proud of our Public Works Team and thankful for the Leadership of our Public Works Director, Brad Merkel”, said Village of Sugar Grove President Sue Stillwell. “We value providing Sugar Grove with the best possible water, protecting our water resources, and we are all celebrating their win for the community as the stewards of the Best Tasting Water in the United States!” The Journey to the National Stage Sugar Grove's path to the national podium required winning a series of consecutive regional and state tournaments: The Regional Qualifier: First, the Sugar Grove Public Works team won the Kane County Water Association regional taste test. The State Championship: The team advanced to the Illinois Section AWWA State Finals at WATERCON 2026 in Peoria. On April 14, 2026, Sugar Grove was crowned the state champion, earning the sole right to represent Illinois nationally. The National Finals: The village competed against elite water producers from across the United States and Canada at the ACE26 conference in Washington, D.C. Rigorous Standards of Excellence A panel of independent water experts judged the competition using strict blind-taste protocols. Samples were evaluated at room temperature across three major categories: Taste: Overall flavor and crisp drinkability profile. Clarity: Total visual transparency and absence of turbidity. Odor: The absolute lack of any organic or chemical scent. To even qualify for entry, Sugar Grove had to maintain a pristine safety record, with zero state or federal drinking water violations during the previous calendar year.
