August 21st, 2010 - A Message To Our Loyal Guests:
Packard Avenue is scheduled to be under major construction beginning in early September. It is part of a larger project that the City of St. Francis has decided to do with the help of federal stimulus funds and approximately $400,000 in local tax revenue.
We have been notified in writing that the work on Packard will start the second week of September. Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials estimate that we will lose at least 40% of our sales during the project. We will also permanently lose approximately 27 on street parking spots – most of which are closest to Carleton Grange Pub.
It is because of this project’s inevitable negative affects on our operations that we now find it financially impossible to remain open. Our business will not be able to survive the short term loss of revenue from the construction work and the long term loss of revenue resulting from the lost parking. It is with regret that we must inform you that we will be closing our doors as of Monday September 6th 2010.

We have put together an information summary and public records from the City of Saint Francis that show the parking situation going back the last five years. We still do not have the street parking that was part of our original approval in 2005. This project removes another 27 spots which our customers rely on for parking. Please see the links below for detailed information on our parking situation.
