Southeast WI grocer to buy De Pere, Kaukauna Piggly Wiggly stores

An employee-owned southeastern Wisconsin grocer has purchased the De Pere and Kaukauna Piggly Wiggly stores from Stoneridge Meat and Country Market . Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly on Nov. 2 announced it agreed to purchase the stores at 575 Swan Road, in De Pere, and 300 E. Ann St., in Kaukauna effective Jan. 31. Hartland-based Fox Bros. is 100% employee-owned via an employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, that will be open to the two northeastern Wisconsin stores' employees. Stoneridge owned the De Pere store since August 2017 and the Kaukauna store since January 2018. The purchase comes less than a month after Stoneridge announced it would close the Little Chute Piggly Wiggly on Nov. 7 . "We cannot be more excited to welcome the Kaukauna and De Pere stores into our family and we truly look forward to serving those communities for years to come," said Fox Bros. Piggly Wiggly President Mike Olwig in a news release. "We appreciate all that Stoneridge has done for these communities over the years as well as the Verhagen family before them, and we are excited to carry on that tradition of support and be an integral part of the community."

7 St. Martin's Day Dishes German and Dutch Families Cooked in the Midwest

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. November 11 was St. Martin's Day, Martinmas on the old calendars, and in parts of the German-speaking world, the Rhineland above all, it meant a lantern walk at dusk. Children carried paper lanterns with a candle inside, sang the Martin songs, and often followed a rider in a red cloak playing the saint who cut his own coat in half for a freezing beggar. German immigrants to Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan brought the day's food with them, and German clubs and schools in the Midwest still hold lantern walks today. The harvest was in, the first hard frost had come and gone, and the supper waiting at home afterward was the last big feast before Advent.
