Apple Butter & Shugie's name comes from the combination of our two most popular stores. Apple Butter because owner and founder, Janie Kerr, was a teacher for 15 years and received numerous apple gifts from her students. Shugie's because she wanted it to be fun and funky, so we named it after our Shih Tzu, Sugar Babie.
Janie started Apple Butter back in 1987 when she was given the responsibility of fundraising for the Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association. She was the state vendor for 28 years. In 1992, she opened her first brick and mortar store and has been going ever since. Stu joined her in their family owned retail in 2000 when he retired from Commonwealth Edison and opened Shugie's.

The store was GREAT! Lot's of items of all different styles and prices. The man and lady working there were very nice. We were there for the Corntine Fest they were having. The lady told us all the specials for the day and told us to ask for assistance if we needed it. The man checked us out and was very polite and welcomed us to come back. We were very happy with the store and the customer service. We will be back!
