Open Businesses in Downtown Davenport
April 30th, 2019
Per the City of Davenport, two hour on-street parking, River Center and Harrison Street parking ramps are not going to be enforced until 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 8.
If visiting downtown, please be aware and be safe. Obey all detours and road closed signs. Avoid entering the floodwaters.
With the rising waters, many of our downtown Davenport businesses are closing temporarily. It’s important that Quad Citizens and visitors continue to patronize our downtown. To make it easy we wanted to take the guessing game out of possible store or restaurant closings and provide you an accurate listing of open businesses. Showing your support for independent local businesses will help them get through this rough spring season after a harsh winter. Your dollars make an impact locally!
We will be continually updating this list, if you need to update your listing please email [email protected].
