The building -- owned by Dermond Associates, LLC -- was once the home of a clothing store, and more recently offices and the Hunter Group.
There are a few bagel shops Downtown (Einstein’s in East Town, Milwaukee Bagel Company on Wisconsin Avenue and several bakeries), but Bruegger’s will be the first national franchise shop in central Downtown.
Bruegger's menu features boiled and baked bagels, salads, whole wheat wraps, stone hearth breads, soups, specialty and deli made sandwiches, desserts, coffee from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and original cream cheese in an assortment of flavors.
Founded in 1983, Bruegger's is headquartered in Burlington, Vt. There are seven locations in Wisconsin, including Brookfield, Wauwatosa and Whitefish Bay.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
