Hello! Tony and Billie here.

Right now, we can’t post this on social networks, but we are super excited to share some news with you.

Somewhere around March or April of 2021, we started talking about solidifying a business plan. We researched and studied and documented. After about 13 months of preparation, we were finally comfortable with our numbers.

See, earlier in 2022, there was this leasable space on Colfax. It was directly across from a gay bar (RnR). At one time, it was a wing place and bar named ‘Crush‘. The business had gone under over Covid, and it seemed hopeful that this could something we might occupy. However, when a series of poor communications on the realtor’s side made this option unavailable, we lost some steam, and were quite disappointed.

Though this was a mixed blessing. The two of us began to search again, scouring realtor sites and business opportunities. Around July, we passed by a restaurant in a cute little area of Colfax. Didn’t think anything of it, but as we were researching, realized it was up for sale. It wasn’t advertised publicly, but there is was, by happenstance, sitting at the intersection of Colfax and Milwaukee.

So, in August, we had some chats with the business broker. The owner of the space liked our vision and business plan. After some discussion, we entered into contract.

 

 

On September 29th, 2022 we entered into lease, and gained access to the space.

So far in the plan, we may have a soft open around December 1st ** VERY TBD **. (Invites to come!)
Renovations, hiring, planning, and setup have begun.
Waiting on licensing and permits and approvals and city codes and all that fun stuff!

If hiring, construction, approvals, and setups go well, we could have a ‘grand’ opening on or around December 15th ** VERY TBD **.

What does this all mean? 

Billie and Tony are business owners!  We proudly present to you:

We intend to offer compelling services such brunch menus on weekends, unique drink specials, customer-tailored events to build a relationship with repeat customers.

Of course, what would an announcement be without pictures?
