Business Year in Review: 1 New Grocery In, 1 to be Remodeled

Fresh Market opened in April, and now Sendik's plans an expansion and remodeling at the location across the intersection. Look back at commercial changes in 2012 in Fox Point and Bayside.

Fox Point and Bayside have seen a couple of significant changes on the business landscape in 2012, though the biggest is perhaps to come. In mid-December, the “red bag” Sendik’s family announced it was purchasing the Bayside Sendik’s and the entire accompanying building, with eyes on renovation and expansion in 2013. Just across the Brown Deer Road/Port Washington Road intersection, another grocery store already staked out its turf. Fresh Market opened in April, the 21,000-square-foot store filling the vacancy left by Borders bookstore in the River Point Shopping Center. Also in the River Point Shopping Center, Red Mango became the local entry in the frozen yogurt craze with its early September opening. Owners Peter and Elizabeth Braatz …

A look back at the top headlines from Fox Point-Bayside Patch in 2011.

At year's end it's nice to take a look back at where you came, which offers a good look at where you're going. At Patch, September brought remembrance of the homeless, a very scary day for kids at Stormonth Elementary when a bank robber crashed his car near the south side of the playground, and a smoky haze left many questioning where the fire was, not expecting it to be all the way from Minnesota. Take a look at the most popular stories from September. Photos: Stritch Students Sleep Outside to Raise Homelessness Awareness The chill in the air did not dampen spirits of about 25 students who showed solidarity with people who are homeless by camping out in box shelters near Cardinal Stritch University's Auditorium.
