I write a lot about Downtown Milwaukee. It's my neighborhood, the heart of our city and a place that I have a deep admiration and passion for.
Thus, I'm always looking for ways to create more value, destinations, discovery and density. I'm not alone in this quest, I know, but since I have this forum I'll use it.
Who's with me? Downtown Milwaukee needs a Kopp's Frozen Custard. Kopp's is a Milwaukee mainstay. It's good food and why should visitors (and residents) have to drive to Glendale, Brookfield or Greenfield for a Kopp's burger?
With no major ice cream or custard vendor, Kopp's would clean up in Downtown. Burger-wise, sure there are many great options, but no "fast" food other than Culver's inside the Shops of Grand Avenue. Kopp's and Mr. Karl Kopp are you listening?
Kopp's Frozen Custard is a landmark in the Milwaukee area, serving its custard and jumbo burgers since 1950. Indeed, Kopp's is one of those things you think about when you think Milwaukee. Reality is, though, that none of its three location are even in Milwaukee proper.
It's time, though. Let's get a Kopp's in Downtown Milwaukee.
