Mursaus bring hometown grocery model to Peshtigo

PESHTIGO — A new Piggly Wiggly in Peshtigo is bringing fresh food, new jobs and a familiar small-town approach to the former Lofaro’s Fresh Market space. For owners Chad and Tiffany Mursau, the expansion builds on nearly five years of operating their Coleman store. They saw promise in Peshtigo and an opportunity to serve a community that was losing its previous grocery operator. “We just saw potential here with all the support,” Chad Mursau said. The couple’s approach he added is to be community driven. The opening comes after a change in the store’s supply arrangements. Mursau said C&S had bought SpartanNash, which supplied Lofaro’s and the previous owner was no longer interested in operating in Peshtigo. The Mursaus saw a chance to take over the location and bring their grocery business to town. They want the store to feel welcoming as well as useful. Asked how he would describe their hometown grocery model, Chad Mursau emphasized “just friendly service,” while Tiffany Mursau echoed the importance of being community driven. Renovations have given the store what Mursau called “a fresh, clean look,” along with a new salad bar and wing bar. The store also offers produce, bakery, deli, meat, dairy,

For Tom Schaal, this is the calm before the storm. It was relatively quiet in his store — Northwoods Sporting Goods — on a Thursday afternoon in late September, but that won’t be the case in late November before and during Wisconsin’s gun deer season, which kicks off Nov. 21 and runs through Nov. 29.

Highwire Farms owner won't sign a do-not sue provision

MENOMINEE — The result of last week’s ballot initiative in Menominee means nothing to Highwire Farms cannabis company principal owner Eric Kennedy. “Nothing has changed, it’s still capped and the lawsuit continues,” he told the EagleHerald. “They could go unlimited. It changes nothing.” Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St., was part of a settlement agreement in 2023 that promised retail licenses to six marijuana businesses. In exchange, those businesses agreed to indemnify or pay the city’s legal bills for future lawsuits and agreed not to appeal. Highwire Farms didn’t open at that time because it was mired in a legal situation over its location. It eventually settled at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 10th Street (most recently A&B Auto and before that a bank). A build-out ensued, but the business couldn’t get the green light from the city. When Menominee County Circuit Judge Mary B. Barglind lifted an injunction this past July that opened the door for a ninth license — one that Kennedy felt he was owed. He wasn’t alone. Puff Cannabis (located at the former Family Video location on 10th St.) and Urb (located just north of City Hall on 10th Street) also feel they deserve licenses. Puff

Core advocates – Connecting the dots between fundraising and board service

Local news about the companies, people and issues that impact business in Northeast Wisconsin and beyond. Last fall when the Fox Valley-based Nonprofit Leadership Initiative (NPLI) facilitated listening sessions with more than 200 area nonprofit organizations to identify their most important areas for support “beyond grant funding,” Executive Director Hope Schaefer says it ultimately identified six throughlines: workforce constraints, outdated infrastructure, limited ability to engage in advocacy work, lack of infrastructure to collaborate, the need to normalize and shift harmful narratives about overhead, and the revelation that “boards are a limiting factor.”
