Milwaukee, WI, 04/07/2009 —

Coming soon, you’ll find Quality Candy/Buddy Squirrel at 215 ½ Water Street in Milwaukee’s best kept secret, the Historic Third Ward, one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Milwaukee. 215 ½ Water Street is located a couple doors south of the Ale House and directly across from the Eisner Museum.

This just happens to be our first curbside store since the original 1916 location on fabled Mitchell Street. Our goal is to be open by May 1, 2009, just in time for Mother’s Day on May 10th. Do you think we will make it? Pick the official date and time of our grand opening and win a free pound of our seductive double dipped cordial cherries.

All of the colors for the cabinetry and walls have been chosen. The drywall is up! A new door to the lobby of the offices at 215 Water Street is in place. Our electricians and plumbers are ordering supplies and fixtures, and Margaret is out shopping for all the accessories that will put the final touches on this unique store.

In keeping with the tradition of the Historic Third Ward, we are thrilled to have Milwaukee’s famous Cream City brick, old wood floors and significant architecture, highlighted by Quality Candy/Buddy Squirrel’s old world recipes dated back to 1916 and it’s heritage to the Milwaukee community for over 93 years.
