Shopping Locally - This Week @: Olio & Vino

by MBIP


Olio & Vino is a unique and locally owned store on Prospect in Peoria Heights. I thought I’d go and take some photos of this store and so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Come along, you’ll see I’m not lying here!

Wow, it’s really cool in here and there’s Olivia behind the counter.

She’s looking pretty and she said I could go ahead and take some pictures so let’s start snapping!

They have mini kegs of olive oil in here and they have the largest selection in Central Illinois.

Who else is thinking of her?
