Two new vendors will fill vacant space the Milwaukee Public Market.
In June, Peter Engel plans to open a salad and juice bar called The Green Kitchen, which will be located on the north side of the market’s center aisle, said Paul Schwartz, promotional assistant and office coordinator for the Milwaukee Public Market.
In July Phil Bilodeau and Aimee Murphy will open a retail wine shop and on-premise wine bar called Thief Wine Shop & Bar, which will be located on the middle-south side of the market, as well as a portion of the center island directly across from the retail area for the wine bar.
Thief Wine Shop will be the second wine store in the Public Market. Sheridan’s Generous Wine & Spirits is located on the east end of the Public Market.
"We feel they will accentuate each other," Schwartz said. "It’s just like how McDonald’s and Burger King like to be located across the street from each other."
The Thief Wine retail store will stock 500 to 600 wines ranging in price from $7 to the top of the market. The wine bar will offer 35 to 40 wines by the taste, flight or glass. The wine bar will also offer an assortment of small food plates.
