Riley’s is known for selling gag gifts, magic tricks, and costumes to many people in the Chicago area. They were open for a total of 77 years, employing five generations of Riley family members. They also opened a store in Frankfort, Illinois for a few years but closed within a short amount of time. All stores were closed in 2014.[1]
