===Business districts<!--[[Template:Chicagomalls]] links here for Town Square Wheaton-->=== Wheaton boasts a vibrant downtown with many restaurants, shops and services. The Downtown Wheaton Association hosts many events throughout the year to promote local businesses, including The French Market, The Chili Cookoff, Vintage Rides, Boo-palooza (Downtown Wheaton Trick-or-Treat), A Dickens of a Christmas, Wheaton Wedding Walk and Wheaton's Wine & Cultural Arts Festival.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.downtownwheaton.com/events/ |title=Events |publisher=Downtown Wheaton Association|date=2020 |access-date=19 December 2020}}</ref> Downtown Wheaton is also home to perhaps one of the narrowest stores in the Chicago area. The Little Popcorn Store on Front Street was formerly an alley between two buildings, and features the exposed brick walls of its neighbors. The store has been around since the 1920s and sells candy for as little as 1Β’ apiece, and fresh popcorn.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.littlepopcornstore.com|title=The Little Popcorn Store|website=The Little Popcorn Store|language=en|access-date=2017-05-17}}</ref> Other shopping districts in Wheaton include Danada Square West,<ref>{{cite web |title=Directory |url=https://www.danadasquarewest.com/directory/ |publisher=Danada Square West |access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref> and Danada Square East,<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us |url=https://www.danadasquareeast.com/about-us/ |publisher=Danada Square East |access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref> named after [[Dan and Ada Rice]], located on the north side of [[Illinois Route 56]] (Butterfield Road), on the west and east side of Naperville Road.
