Uptown Janesville lands winter market through new management agreement

JANESVILLE — The Uptown Janesville mall lost its winter market when the Janesville Farmers Market opted this fall to move its over-winter spot to the downtown YMCA — but a new group is working to cultivate a new market at Uptown Janesville. Local nonprofit group Faire Market Institute, a cottage industry led by manager Alicia Klos, is operating The Janesville Mall Holiday Market at Uptown Janesville, the official name for the mall’s new winter market. The Uptown Janesville Holiday Market kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14. It’s specifically scheduled this year on weekends that are opposite the Janesville Farmers Market’s downtown market at the YMCA. “We didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. We wanted to go opposite their weekends,” Klos said. The Janesville Farmers Market had operated out of the mall for the last several years, but the group this year signed a contract to lease space for its winter market at the former Janesville Boys & Girls Club space at the YMCA off West Court Street. This year, Klos took over volunteer management of Milton’s Community Day Market. That’s a Friday night vendor and food market held on Milton’s east side once a month. Klos said many farmers market

Ember and Iron brings men's clothing back to Janesville's downtown

JANESVILLE — Ember & Iron has a poetic catharsis to it, even if the casual observer doesn’t know the secret behind the new downtown retail store’s name. Claudine Manor named her new independent clothing store a year ago; it simply took her a year to find the new location. Manor had previously operated Savannah and Pearl boutique in Edgerton at the former Lake House Inn supper club, which was destroyed in a fire Oct. 1, 2025. The Lake House fire prompted Manor to reconsider what she wants to do. The two elements left behind by the fire were Ember & Iron. Manor decided to take the two elements, as words, Ember & Iron, as a concept, a statement of renewal — of what she’s doing now. And what Manor’s doing is a pretty bold thing in downtown retail. She’s designed and built out a storefront retail store with half the floor dedicated to new men’s fashion — a retail offering otherwise nearly absent in Janesville’s downtown. Ember & Iron is on the street level at 319 W. Milwaukee St. in a space that once housed the former Monterey Hotel lobby and restaurant. The building’s upper six floors now house apartments.

This Wisconsin Bakery Has Sugar-Free Treats That Don’t Skimp On Flavor

Keto Boston Cream Cake. Keto Key Lime Bars. Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Swirl Cheesecake. That lineup sounds like a cheat day, yet every item skips the sugar. The cheesecake bars alone get my attention. Creamy vanilla cheesecake sits on an almond flour crust with whipped cream on top. They’re low-carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free, which feels almost unfair.
