New businesses in Naperville’s downtown are popping up, and a few favorites have moved to new locations.

Here’s a rundown of some of the changes:

  • Starbucks, located at Jefferson Avenue and Main Street for 15 years, opened Friday in a larger space on Main Street that used to be part of the Eddie Bauer clothing store.
    • The new cafe includes a Reserve bar, which serves high-end coffee made with a variety of brewing methods. The new location opened Friday and is more than three times the size of the old store.
  • Russell’s Dry Cleaners at 41 W. Jefferson Ave. is closed.
    • Owner Russell Breitwieser announced in April that he was retiring after 60 years in the business. The building will likely be demolished and rebuilt, said Nathan Tonnies, of Metro Commercial Real Estate, which is marketing the property.”It’s an amazing corner, so a lot of people are really interested in it,” Tonnies said. “We’re looking for the right tenant for the mix of what’s currently downtown.”
  • Water Street District‘s SixtyFour-A Wine Bar and Blue Sushi Sake Grill opened in June.
    • The wine bar offers 64 self-serve wine stations and 64 local craft beers at 123 Water St. Blue Sushi is at the same address and the restaurant’s first Illinois location.
