Four years ago, Milwaukee welcomed its first woman-owned erotic boutique, The Tool Shed, to the Riverwest neighborhood. Today, new owner Laura Anne Stuart announced she is moving the business to the East Side.

On Tuesday, Nov. 11, The Tool Shed will reopen in its new, larger location, 2427 N. Murray Ave.

"I am especially excited that we will now have more space to hold classes, since sexuality education is my passion," says Stuart.

From Nov. 1 to 8, The Tool Shed will have a moving sale in its current location, 804 E. Center St. Select items will be discounted up to 75 percent, and customers will receive free gifts with qualifying purchases.
