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

4 Seasons Mini Golf, an indoor mini-golf course, opens at Uptown Janesville mall

JANESVILLE — Just outside the Kohl's store at Uptown Janesville mall, you can putt a neon-colored golf ball down a road a tortoise and hare racing, then across a glowing, frozen lake, and then over a slippery, glasslike section of carpet an animatronic dragon has "melted" with his flaming breath. It's all from the mind of Dalton Knueppel, owner and developer of 4 Seasons Mini Golf, a new indoor mini golf course that opened this month at Uptown Janesville. Knueppel's imagination was captivated and molded by his grandfather's buildout of a small mini golf course years ago. He'd always wanted to build one himself. Knueppel, a structural steel foreman who builds towers and stadiums, has never built a mini golf course; he simply likes them and he's got a disarming business model when it comes to putt-putt golf: "I have kids. I wanted to bring some entertainment and happiness to Janesville. We need a little bit of entertainment around here," Knueppel said. Knueppel said he scouted out several retail and commercial buildings seeking space, but he said it was "very difficult" to find a tenant interested in leasing for a a not-yet-designed mini golf course. Knueppel and his partner, Shauna

Morning Bloom a new breakfast restaurant in the former Sweet Berry location to open

JANESVILLE— A new brunch restaurant, Morning Bloom, is preparing to open in the former Pearl of the Orient and Sweet Berry location, bringing another breakfast and brunch option to the area after Sweet Berry closed just three months after opening. The Alcohol licensing committee Tuesday morning, the committee unanimously recommended a positive approval to the city council for the restaurant's license. Bardil Ahmedi, the new restaurant owner, is opening a similar restaurant that will operate every day from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. The building at 2701 Milton Ave. housed Pearl of the Orient from late 2022 until early 2024. Rio Brazilian Steakhouse then planned to move into space, but backed out last year. Former owner Tommy Nguyen’s mother Xinh Le owned Sweet Berry. His mom has been the landlord for a building that houses Riverside Family restaurant in Rockford, Ill. Last year, Le had the idea to open a restaurant of her own in Janesville, and the idea blossomed from there. After purchasing the building, they repainted its exterior, repaved the parking lot, cleaned inside and constructed a bakery area that will serve as a mini-café serving items such as pastries, coffee and tea. In October the restaurant abruptly

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.

The Small-Town Creamery Behind Culver's Butter

If you've ever been to a Culver's, chances are you've sampled its simple (but brilliant) ButterBurger, so-called because the top of the bun is smeared with a dollop of rich, creamy butter. This gives an otherwise normal burger a little extra oomph. The chain got its start in Sauk City, Wisconsin, in the heart of America's dairyland, and being from the state with the most dairy farms, a local creamery was the obvious choice for the brand to source its butter from.
