A new coffee drive-through, a bank branch and more
Welcome to the Streetwise Newsletter, where the news comes to you! This week’s newsletter starts with the story about 7 Brew, a drive-thru coffee business opening its third location in the Green Bay area. Another outside-the-area company is expanding, opening a second location in Hobart. Stephenson National Bank & Trust, headquartered in Marinette, broke ground on a new facility that is expected to open in 2027. Often, I receive questions in my mail asking about what’s being built here or there. Just a few weeks back, a reader asked what was being built on Allouez Avenue next to ReStore. I found out that Detrie Builders Inc., a 71-year-old company based in Green Bay, is building its main offices in Bellevue and moving next year. Changing gears to the nonprofit and animal world – last week, I wrote a story about Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary finding a new home for its kittens. The organization had been operating out of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church since June 24, after torrential rains collapsed the roof of the building at 151 N. Broadway in west Green Bay. Finally, I want to share the story about Dylan Diersen, the new owner of the Cock &
