Editorial: Innovative ideas like the pop-up dinners should be encouraged, not discouraged
Lake Geneva Regional News Editorial Board
Lake Geneva Country Meats recently obtained a temporary lease for the former Flemings Ltd. store building, 711 W. Main St., to partner with local nonprofit organizations to host pop-up dinners in the building. The pop-up dinners have since been cancelled after city aldermen have decided to hold off voting on temporary liquor licenses for the events. Lake Geneva Country Meats opened a short-term pop-up shop at former Fleming’s during Winterfest, selling cheese and brats. Over Valentine’s Day they opened a pop-up donut shop. Pictured is Bridget Leech, the store’s marketing and events manager, and Nick Vorpagel, the company’s vice president.
