Collinsville, IL – July 20, 2026 – As families prepare for a new school year, a Midwest staple is giving thanks to the educators who make it all possible. Glik’s, a family-owned specialty retailer established in 1897, is announcing a Teacher Appreciation Week from August 3–9.
For more than 125 years, Glik’s has been part of back-to-school traditions, helping students head into the classroom with confidence. Through personalized service, Glik’s has helped students find quality apparel that suits their specific needs. This August, the company is extending that same commitment to the teachers who inspire, support and shape the next generation with a week celebrating their contributions.
“For our family, this business has always been about more than clothing—it’s about people and community,” said Jeff Glik, CEO and president and a fourth-generation member of the founding family.
Glik’s Teacher Appreciation Week offer is available at all store locations and on Gliks.com from August 3–9, 2026. Teachers who stop by Glik’s will receive 20% off their purchase when they show a valid school ID at checkout. By recognizing the dedication of educators, Glik’s hopes to give back to those who make lasting impacts in classrooms and their communities every day.
