EVERY STORY HAS A BEGINNING

Stanley Aviation opened as a 75,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in 1954, and expanded to 140,000 sq. ft. within a few years. The plant soon became the largest employer in Aurora. Today, that same space is home to Stanley Marketplace — a vibrant collective of 50+ locally owned businesses offering everything from food and drink to shopping, fitness, beauty, creative studios, and family-friendly fun.
