Destination Sturgeon Bay has announced that Todd Trimberger and Dr. Kelton Reitz, the owners of Bliss on Jefferson Street, have purchased the former Younker’s building on 3rd Avenue. Construction will begin immediately for their new store in this location which will be called the “Marketplace by Bliss”. Once they open this new 3rd Avenue location this coming fall, they will close their Jefferson Street location. At “Marketplace by Bliss” they will continue to offer home furnishings, holiday decor, and other accessories. The construction on this historic building will include opening up the front half of the mezzanine to the lower level, a new roof, windows, and HVAC. The new owners feel the exterior is rather iconic in our downtown so they will renew and refresh it. Also, in a partnership with the city of Sturgeon Bay, their plans include installing a much needed public restroom near the Louisiana Street entrance. Trimberger further explains the plan….
