Today, SPiN Milwaukee, 233 E. Chicago St., in the Third Ward, announced in an email that it's changing its name to Evolution Milwaukee Gastro Pong on Feb. 11.
"The name change signifies a new phase for us and a conclusion to a successful three-year relationship with SPiN Galactic based in New York City," writes Katie Ryan Pluer, Evolution MKE's Director of Business Development. "In an effort to maintain a strong commitment to the Milwaukee community, the decision has been made to break away from the SPiN franchise and go independent."
According to the email, not much else will change, except that members will get a new EVO card to replace their SPiN membership card, and the venue will, in Pluer's words, "have a renewed focus on food and drinks."
