At Waxi Taxi, we believe that great businesses don’t exist in isolation; they thrive as part of our vibrant community, filled with passionate entrepreneurs who support and inspire one another. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on some of our incredible neighbors across our three Northwest Indiana locations who make our communities such special places to work and visit.
Chesterton: Where Wellness and Artistry Meet
Ebb & Flow: Located right next door to our Chesterton location is a brand-new yoga studio that opened just a couple of months ago. I have known Gina, Jim, and Chrissy for many years, and I am thrilled to see them collaborate to offer such a cool yoga studio that offers more than amazing yoga. This yoga space is so special. Ebb & Flow creates a welcoming environment that goes beyond traditional practice, offering a holistic approach to wellness.

Willow: Also adjoining our Chesterton location is Willow, a unique collaborative space that showcases the best of local artistry. JLP Decorative Arts and Bella Node collaborated to create this artistic haven, which also features The Big Spoon Shoppe and Rooted Links, alongside several other local artisans. Walking into Willow feels like discovering a treasure trove of handcrafted goods and artistic inspiration; it’s the perfect place to find something truly special.

Michigan City: Masters of Their Craft
Channie’s Lashes: Located within the same building as our Michigan City Waxi Taxi location, Channie’s Lashes represents the epitome of precision and artistry. She is a master of her craft, with an eye for detail. I have sent many clients her way, as she does some of the best lashes I have seen. I even tried a half set myself for the first time, and I loved them! Our services complement each other beautifully, creating a perfect one-stop destination for clients seeking to enhance their natural beauty.

Good News Vintage: Amy Bowman with Good News Vintage has been a staple in the Art District longer than Waxi Taxi has called Michigan City home. She has an amazing sense of style and can pair vintage pieces together like no other. Need something unique? GNV is where I would go to find it! Amy’s curated collection of vintage treasures and her impeccable styling sense make Good News Vintage a must-visit destination for anyone seeking distinctive pieces with character and history.

Crown Point: Courthouse Square Charm
Ramen District: Located in the historic courthouse, Ramen District brings authentic flavors and a killer bar situation to Crown Point. Their incredible selection of ramen and other dishes creates the perfect spot for a satisfying meal, whether you’re grabbing lunch between appointments or enjoying a night out.

Local 219: Also residing in the courthouse, Local 219 holds a special place in our hearts. Mark featured us last summer and is a genuine supporter of all the local small businesses in the area, committed to ensuring everyone knows about them. Having champions like Mark who actively promote and support local businesses makes our entire community stronger.

The Power of Community
What makes these neighboring businesses so special isn’t just their individual excellence; it’s how they contribute to the fabric of our communities. From the wellness-focused environment in Chesterton to the artistic hub in Michigan City’s Art District and the historic charm of Crown Point’s courthouse square, each location offers its own unique character enhanced by the businesses that call it home.
These neighbors aren’t just businesses we happen to be near; they’re partners in creating vibrant, supportive communities where local entrepreneurship can flourish. When you visit Waxi Taxi at any of our locations, we encourage you to explore these amazing neighboring businesses and experience firsthand the passion and dedication that make our local business community so special.
Supporting local isn’t just about individual transactions; it’s about building connections, fostering community, and celebrating the entrepreneurs who make our region such a dynamic place to live, work, and visit.
