The Blue Goose Market was established the same year Herbert Hoover was elected president and Eliot Ness first arrived in Chicago to bust bootleggers. The family-owned store has been described as the heart and soul of downtown St. Charles. Today, Blue Goose is facing the biggest threat to its existence in its 91-year history.
