In July of 2020, we reported that the Brookfield location of Fuddruckers, the last remaining Wisconsin location, had shuttered.
Nearly four years later, customers are invited to pay a final visit to the restaurant at 16065 W. Bluemound Rd. – not to eat burgers, but to take advantage of the opportunity to own a piece of the iconic brand.
A liquidation sale headed up by Best Estate Services is slated to take place Thursday, Feb. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday, Feb. 23 through Tuesday, Feb. 27 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale is open to the public and presents an opportunity for fans, collectors and industry personnel to purchase a variety of items from the restaurant.
Items will include decor (including coveted collectibles like replica gas pumps, neon signs and Breweriana celebrating Wisconsin’s rich beer heritage).
Tables, chairs, barstools and commercial kitchen equipment will also be available for purchase.
Items are expected to sell quickly, so interested buyers are encouraged to come early for the best selection.

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
